ALS 2004 welcomes work on any area of general linguistics, whether
descriptive, typological, theoretical, sociolinguistic. Previous
conferences have usually had a good selection of papers on languages

The main conference sessions will involve 30-minute talks (20 min. +
10 min. discussion). Presentations should describe original,
unpublished work. As well, there will be workshops, including one on
different approaches to historical linguistics. Papers for workshops
will be arranged by the workshop convenors.
