University of Valencia (Spain) March 10-12, 2004 

(FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS)
http://www.uv.es/ajl

Dear all, 

The Association of Young Linguists (AJL) is pleased to invite you to
the XIX Conference of the Association of Young Linguists that will be
held on the 10th, 11th and 12th April 2004 in the Facultat de
Filologia of the University of Valencia, Spain.

The Association of Young Linguists was founded in Barcelona in
1992. Its members are PhD students and researchers, and those working
in Faculties of Philology in Spain or abroad, devoted to the study of
language and linguistics and related disciplines. According to the
standing rules of the AJL, our aims are:
 
1. To foster the study and research on linguistics and stimulate
communication and cooperation between young scholars in this
discipline.
2. To promote the acknowledgement of linguistics as an autonomous
discipline.
3. To cooperate in publishing current research papers and projects by
means of scientific meetings, conferences, publications and other
initiatives.
4. To enhance cultural exchange by encouraging linguistic research in
different languages.

>From 1992 onwards, the AJL has gathered yearly in several
universities in Spain in order to hold its conferences, in which the
members of the Association have delivered short papers about their
research findings and results. The conference is formally closed with
a general meeting where several matters regarding the association are
discussed, including the site of the following AJL conference.

The sites of the former 17 conferences were the following: From
1992-1997 the conferences were held each term at a different location:
University of Barcelona and Santiago (1992), University of Oviedo and
Val�ncia (1993), University of Murcia and Aut�noma de
Madrid (1994), Aut�noma de Barcelona and Euskal Erriko (1995),
University of Coru�a and Le�n (1996), Complutense of
Madrid and Ja�n (1997). From 1998-2001 the conferences were
held annually: University of Salamanca (1998), university of
Extremadura (1999), University of Sevilla (2000), University of Huelva
(2001) and University of Alicante (2002).

As in the previous conferences, papers are welcomed. Each paper will
consist of the presentation of a research field for 20 minutes
followed by a 10-minute discussion. If you are interested in
delivering a paper, please consider the following indications:

a) The papers should be as accessible and pedagogic as possible due to
the heterogeneous audience expected. Please remember that there will
be students that might not be familiar with your theoretical bases.
b) Speakers are recommended to avoid the overuse of examples as it
prevents the general understanding of the exposition.
c) Literature references should be included not only in the oral
exposition but also in the handout given to the audience.
d) Speakers should not forget that the amount of information given has
to be proportional to the time (20 minutes).

If you are interested in ATTENDING OR PRESENTING A PAPER AT THE XIX
CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION OF YOUNG LINGUISTS, fill in the
registration form you will find in our webpage and send it to us
before the 31st January 2004 by both e-mail and snail mail at any of
