The language of the media has increasingly become a focus of attention in

1. The use of language by the media
2. Globalization: the use of relatively few languages, especially English, 
in the world-wide media and the Internet.

Language of the conference: English

by email as PLAIN TEXT to languageell.ox.ac.uk or on paper by regular

The editors of Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics will produce two
numbers for the next volume of KWPL. We welcome submissions of papers on
all topics in the field of linguistics and closely-related disciplines
for Number 1. Papers dealing with native languages of the Americas
will be selected for Number 2. Since we are a working paper,
publication in KWPL does not preclude later publication elsewhere of
revised versions of papers. Submissions should be in good readable
form (double or 1.5 spaced), not necessarily final copies. Student
papers are encouraged.
