If you are interested in presenting a Workshop at NEILS7, please contact mark.postjcu.edu.au or s.moreylatrobe.edu.au to discuss your proposed theme/content. Call for Papers: The primary focus of NEILS is description of the rich cultural-linguistic diversity that exists in North East India. Therefore, papers should have a primary descriptive component, preferably from a functional-typological or anthropological-linguistic perspective. Field reports are acceptable. Papers whose sole or primary focus is formal, theoretical and/or computational in nature are unlikely to be accepted for presentation.

Please save the file using the following format: NEILS7_Abstract_Initial+Surname_BriefTitle.Ext For example, NEILS7_Abstract_PSingh_ManipuriPronouns.doc.
