The theme of this year's conference is 'Language in the Public Domain;' SALSA is now accepting proposals for papers that explore the public dimensions of language. Language is a distinctly human characteristic and central to all human social organization. It is the medium through which we shape our identities, relate to other people, and construct our social realities. Our focus in this conference is on language as it is used in media, politics, performance, and other public spaces, and how language can affect and be affected by these processes and domains of usage. Invited speakers include: Elaine Chun, University of South Carolina Lars Hinrichs, UT Austin Call For Papers Please send submissions to SALSA 2011 through the online submission form on the SALSA website: http://www.utexas.edu/students/salsa All submissions must include TWO abstracts: An extended abstract not to exceed 4,100 characters and spaces (approximately 600 words), including references and examples; and a shorter abstract not to exceed 1,100 spaces and characters (approximately 150 words).
