The 9th annual conference of the Society for Germanic Linguistics will

English (to the Early Modern period) and the extra-territorial
varieties. Linguistic subfields include phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics and language
acquisition, as well as philology, and represent a wide range of
theoretical approaches.

Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to
submit abstracts for 20- or 30-minute papers (plus 10 minutes of
discussion) on any linguistic or philological aspect of any historical
or modern Germanic language or dialect, including English (to the
Early Modern period) and the extra-territorial varieties. Papers from
a range of linguistic subfields, including phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition,
contact, and change, as well as differing theoretical approaches, are
welcome. Please specify whether you would prefer a 20-minute or a
30-minute slot for your presentation. Papers will be selected for the
program by a broad-based committee in a double-blind process. Please
send to the address below a one-page abstract in a 12-point
font. Abstracts should fill an entire page. In the upper left-hand
corner of the abstract, include your name, institutional affiliation,
mailing address, phone/fax numbers, and e-mail address. This
information will be concealed when the abstract is copied for
distribution to the selection committee, but it will appear in the
conference program. Abstracts may be sent either as hard copy or as
PDF files. Electronic abstracts will be accepted only in the form of
PDF files sent as e-mail attachments to:
fertigacsu.buffalo.edu. Please use ''GLAC-9 abstract (PDF)'' as the
