Papers are invited on topics that deal with the application of current

discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, etc.

Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a one-page
abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of the topic, and
a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed (the reasoning,
data, or experimental results to be presented). Authors are requested to
be>as specific as possible in describing their topics. Abstracts should be
submitted by e-mail, where possible. The top lines of the message should
contain the authors name, affiliation, address, phone number, e-mail
address, and the title of the paper. The body of the abstract should then
follow after 4 blank lines. The heading will be omitted before it is sent
to the members of the paper selection committee. Please do not send
attachments. If submitted by mail,
both a disk copy and a hard copy are to be included. Names are not to
appear on the abstract; instead, a 3x5 card with the above information
should be enclosed. Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation.
