    Working Papers in Athabascan Languages and Linguistics

    to be published as Alaska Native Language Center Working Paper no. 4, edited by Gary Holton and Siri Tuttle

    Since 2001 the Alaska Native Language Center has annually published the proceedings of the Athabascan Languages Conference in its Working Papers series. Although no conference will be held in 2004, we would like to continue the annual publication tradition by assembling a collection of working papers to be published in the Fall of 2004 in both print and electronic formats. This could be viewed a conference proceedings without the conference.

    Papers are invited on all areas of Athabascan linguistics, language teaching, language policy, and language revitalization. Any topic which would be appropriate for presentation at the Athabascan Languages Conference is also appropriate for this working papers volume. We particularly welcome reports on works-in-progress; explorations of new data; and language pedagogy. As with previous working papers volumes, submissions will be editorially reviewed, and publication in the working papers volume does not preclude publication elsewhere. Electronic submission is encouraged. If possible, submit papers in Microsoft Word format. Include copies of all fonts with your submission. Submissions can be sent to

    Working Papers Alaska Native Language Center Box 757680 Fairbanks, AK 99775-7680 USA

    or emailed to ffsgt1uaf.edu. Deadline for submission is November 1, 2004. Early submissions are welcome.

    The following are some basic style guidelines to follow when preparing your paper.

    - Papers should be single-spaced. The working papers will not be reduced, so there is no need to add extra space or make the font size large. There is no pre-defined page-limit, though we expect most contributions will not exceed 30 pages. - Font: 12 pt Times for text and subheadings - Margins: 1" left, right, top; 1.5" bottom - Numbering: leave pages unnumbered but pencil in number on back of page. - Headings: Title (bold and centered 14 point) - skip a line Name (centered) skip a line Affiliation (centered) Abstract: none - Subheadings should be flush left. Subheading 1 bold, subheading 2 italic, subheading 3 same as normal text. Please don't go below subheading 3! - Use footnotes, not endnotes.

    Please direct questions to Siri Tuttle at ffsgt1uaf.edu or (907) 474-5708.
