These should be submitted in the same way as abstracts for the general sessions, but should be clearly marked as intended for the special session. 5. There will be a Language Tutorial on Tundra Nenets, given by Dr. Irina Nikolaeva (School of Oriental and African Studies). 6. The LAGB Education Committee will hold a two-hour session on the UK Linguistics Olympiad (a competition in which school children solve linguistics data problems). Members of the UKLO committee will explain the history, the aims, and the achievements so far, of the olympiad; present some samples of the problems children have to solve; and invite questions and discussion. Further details will soon be made available on this website: www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/dick/ec/ecsessions.htm Call for Papers: Both members and non-members are invited to offer papers for the Meeting. The LAGB welcomes submissions on any topic in the field of linguistics; papers are selected on their (perceived) merits and not according to their subject matter or theoretical framework. The normal length for papers delivered at LAGB meetings is 25 minutes (plus 15 minutes discussion). The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 4th April 2011. Details of how to submit and abstract can be found in the call for papers, available to download from the LAGB website: http://www.lagb.org.uk/circulars/2011_1mancirc.pdf New!
