    Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2003

    Meeting Description:

    The 32st Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest will be hosted by the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), located in the subtropical Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas from Friday, October 17 to Sunday, October 19, 2003. This year's theme is ''Crossing Linguistic Borders.'' (Papers in all areas of linguistics will be accepted, as usual). The Plenary Speakers will be Joshua . Fishman, rofessor Emeritus from Yeshiva University, General Editor of the International Journal of the Sociology of Language, and author of numerous works, who will speak on ''Distancing and Interaction: The Status Agenda in Corpus Planning'' and Jos G. Moreno de Alba, research fellow of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filolgicas and professor at Universidad Nacional Aut�noma de M�xico, and author of numerous books on Spanish in the Americas, whose topic is ''El Atlas Ling��stico de M�xico.'' Peter Gingiss, from the University of Houston, will deliver the Presidential Address.

    The conference will be held on the campus of UTPA in the University Library. Edinburg, in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, is central to several areas of interest. These include the resort areas of South Padre Island, usually very nice in October, and Mexican border towns, such as where Reynosa, shopping and restaurants abound. Monterrey, Mexico is only three hours driving from Edinburg, for those interested in more than the border region. In addition, there are abundant opportunities for hunting and fishing; ecotourism is also a big draw as the LRGV hosts approximately 500 species of birds. October is also the month to view numerous butterflies in the Texas Butterfly Festival in Mission (next door to Edinburg). This area of the U.S. is among the fastest growing suburban-metropolitan areas of the country.

    All proposals for papers, special sessions, panels, or other program features should be submitted by JUNE 1, 2003 by e-mail at: <ellyvangelderenasu.edu > or regular Mail : Dr. Elly vanGelderen Arizona State University English Department Tempe, AZ 85287-0302,USA
