 Linguistic Association of the Southwest

 October 3-5, 1997
 University of California-Los Angeles

Invited Speakers: Ofelia Zepeda (University of Arizona)
 Kenneth Hale (MIT)

Proposals for papers in any area of linguistics will be
considered. For the 1997 meeting in Los Angeles, submissions regarding
minority languages are particular-ly encouraged. We also especially
solicit graduate student papers, which may be submitted following the
meeting for consideration for the Helmut Esau Prize, a $250 cash award
made annually by LASSO.

Presentation time for papers will be limited to twenty minutes
plus ten minutes for discussion.

THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS IS JUNE 15, 1997; notification
of acceptance of papers will be sent out by August 1, 1997. Only one
abstract as single author and a second as co-author will be
 accepted from any individual.

Abstracts must be no longer than one page (c. 250 words) and
should summarize the main points of the paper and explain
relevant aspects of the data, method-ology, and argumentation
employed. Abstracts of accepted papers will be published exactly
as received in a booklet for distribution at the meeting. At the
beginning of your abstract place the paper title, and at the end
of the abstract (or on a separate page) repeat the title along
with your name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number,
and e-mail address.

It is preferred that abstracts be submitted by e-mail to:
 rkingmail.utexas.edu

In the absence of e-mail, or if your abstract contains any
special symbols, send one hard copy of the abstract (preferably
with a diskette, labeled for operating system and word processing
program) to:
 Robert D. King

 DISCOURSE
 & SOCIETY
 Fourteenth call for book reviewers
 (Previous list issued August 1996)
_________________________________________________________
Discourse and Society is a journal founded in July
1990, editor Teun van Dijk, University of Amsterdam;
publisher: Sage. It has attracted over 750 subscribers,
and is central to the rapidly expanding field of
discourse analysis.
Since January 1991 the journal has appeared four times
yearly, and reviewed about thirty-three books each year.
The titles listed below are available for
review either as single volumes or jointly. Joint
reviews are encouraged wherever appropriate.
_________________________________________________________
On receiving a book you will be asked to judge its
relevance to Discourse and Society. There are three
categories to choose from:

 1. Books apparently central to the concerns of
 Discourse and Society.

 2. Books which address an area to which discourse
 analysis has contributed. If having requested such a
 book, you find it not relevant to the journal's
 interests, please report this to the review editor
 who may permit you to keep the title without review.

 3. Books which appear marginal to the concerns of
 Discourse and Society. You may request these titles
 on the basis that if they are relevant to the
 journal's interests you will review them but if not,
 you will keep them without review.
