First circular January 1994

The Eighth International Colloquium on Latin Linguistics will be held
in Eichstatt, Bavaria from Monday, 24 April to Friday, 28 April 1995.

The Colloquium is organized by the Departments of Classics and

Louvain-la-Neuve; Chr. Touratier, Aix-en-Provence), and will take place
on the campus of the University of Eichstatt under the auspices of the
university.
 As usual, the Colloquium will be open to all scholars interested in
the interaction between Latin linguistics and philology. As in the
previous Colloquia no special theme has been fixed; on the contrary,
all thematic and methodological aspects of Latin linguistics may be
dealt with. Considering the number of papers to be expected, papers
should not exceed the length of 20-25 minutes. Participants who wish to
read a paper are requested to state topics on the registration form
enclosed with this circular. In the second circular they will be
requested to submit camera-ready abstracts (not later than 15 October
1994) and they will be informed of acceptance ot their topics after
examination of the proposals by the International Committee by December
1994. Papers may be presented in any language that can be expected to
be understood by a sufficient number of participants.
 A certain number of papers will be published in the Proceedings of
the Colloquium. The decision on the selection will be taken by the
International Committee. The participation fee of about DM 100 (more
detailed information will be given in the second circular) will cover,
inter alia, the cost of a half-day trip.
 Further details and practical information will be provided in the
second circular, which will be sent to all those who have returned the
preregistration form enclosed with this circular by March 31.
