Meeting Description:

HOSTED BY TEXAS A&M INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Appropriate to the site of this year’s meeting, the conference theme is “Transcending Borders”. The conference will feature a plenary address by Ana Celia Zentella, of the University of California, San Diego. Colleen Fitzgerald of Texas Tech University will present the Presidential Address.

Abstracts for papers or posters in any area of linguistics are welcome, although proposals on the theme are particularly encouraged, as are proposals dealing with language issues of special interest in the Southwest. Proposals for complete panels with 2-4 speakers are also welcome.

Early submission of panel proposals is desirable.

Presentation time for papers will be twenty minutes plus ten minutes for discussion. Abstracts may be in English or Spanish.

Presentations should be given in the same language as the abstract. Only one abstract as single author and a second as co-author will be accepted from any one individual.

Submissions by graduate students are welcome, and students are eligible for the Helmut Esau Prize, a $250 cash award.

Abstracts should be 250-500 words, single-spaced in 11 point Times New Roman font.

Abstracts should summarize the main points and indicate key aspects of the data and methodology.

Use of special font items should be kept to a minimum. In general, omit the bibliography.

At the conference, abstracts will be distributed as received. At the beginning of the abstract, write the title of the paper. At the end of the abstract, repeat the title and also list the author's name (if more than one author, list names in the order they should appear in the program), academic affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail. If the author will not be available at his/her usual address or e-mail during the summer, provide summer contact information in the cover e-mail. Also note whether any A-V equipment will be needed.

Abstracts should be e-mailed to lasso2006tamiu.edu or visit the website http://www.tamiu.edu/coas/lla/papers.shtml
