CALL FOR PAPERS:

ATLANTIC PROVINCES LINGUISTIC ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL MEETING

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

NOVEMBER 10-11, 1995

Papers on any topic in linguistics are welcome. However, the theme
for the conference is "Making Linguistics Accessible," chosen in
accordance with the current widespread perception that universities
and their disciplines must be more accountable than ever before for
the public dollars that they spend. It is hoped that most papers
will allude to this theme in a way appropriate to their content, and
that some will address it directly.

Papers are 20 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for discussion.

The featured speaker is Katherine Barber, editor-in-chief of the
forthcoming Canadian Oxford Dictionary.

ABSTRACTS (100 WORDS) DUE BY AUGUST 15, 1995
TWO COPIES, DOUBLE-SPACED.

Abstracts and enquiries to Terry Pratt, UPEI, Charlottetown, PEI,
