formal models of linguistic competence. We encourage laboratory
studies in areas such as phonology, lexical and syntactic processing,
socio-phonetics, and L1 and L2 acquisition.

Abstracts should be no more than two pages in length (including
examples and references), in 12-point type. All margins should be at

title of the paper, name of the author(s), affiliation(s), address,
phone number, and e-mail address.

To facilitate the review process, please indicate the primary area of
linguistics addressed in the paper. Those who wish to be considered
for both the Main Session and the Parasession should send two sets of
materials (please indicate MAIN SESSION / PARASESSION). Submissions
are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per
author. Preference will be given to presentations not duplicated at
other major conferences (e.g., LSA, NELS, WCCFL). Authors are asked to
indicate prior or planned presentations of their papers.
