SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

THE SEMANTICS OF UNDER-REPRESENTED LANGUAGES 
IN THE AMERICAS (SULA)

University of Massachusetts, Amherst

APRIL 20-22, 2001


The Department of Linguistics at the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst is pleased to announce a special
conference on the formal semantics of under-represented
languages of the Americas. The goal of the conference is to
bring together researchers working on languages or
dialects which do not have an established tradition of work
in formal semantics. Examples include native languages of
North or South America, African American English, ASL,
Yiddish, or Brazilian Portuguese. We also invite
submissions from those working on child languages
(acquisition of semantics). We especially encourage
abstract submissions from those whose work involves
primary fieldwork or experimentation as well as analysis.

The conference will consist of several panel discussions organized
around language themes, plus general sessions. The paper length for
the general sessions will be 30 minutes, plus 15 minutes for
discussion. We strongly encourage the participation of graduate
students.
