The 46th ILA conference will have the major theme "Languages of the

state the problems addressed, or research questions, and some indication
of results or conclusions. Send via e-mail to the Conference Secretary.
Simultaneously, send to the Secretary, via airmail 2 hard, camera-ready

It is anticipated that there will be a special issue of WORD, containing a
number of the most outstanding presentations, scheduled to appear late 2001
or early 2002. Instructions for submission to that volume will be
available for authors of accepted abstracts at a later time.

Those wishing to propose panels, or special sessions, etc., should contact
