We are pleased to announce that the 41st Poznan Linguistic Meeting (PLM2010)
will be held on 23-26 September 2010 in Gniezno, Poland. The leitmotif will be

PLM2010 will comprise three thematic discussion sessions and general sessions.
We invite submissions of abstracts for oral presentations at three special
thematic discussion sessions, each of which will have space for six
presentations. We also invite abstracts for oral or poster presentations at the
general sessions (not necessarily related to the conference theme).
Each oral presentation will be given 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for
discussion. Poster presentations will be an integral part of the conference
programme. The language of the conference is English.
The three thematic discussion sessions are as follows:

The thematic discussion sessions will take place on Friday, 24 September
(Language Change and Variation), Saturday, 25 September (Phonology) and Sunday,
26 September (Syntax), and will be preceded by invited plenary talks related to
the session themes.
The keynote address will be delivered by William Labov (University of Pennsylvania)

references, if any. Detailed abstract guidelines will be available from our website.

the author will first upload the abstract and then select the submission type

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
