The Berkeley Women and Language Group is currently welcoming abstracts for the Fifth Berkeley Women and Language Conference, with a submission deadline of December 15, 1997. In addition to individual pap
ers, you may organize and submit panel sessions. This year's conference
has no specific overall theme, but all papers and panels must in some way involve issues of language and gender.
The Women and Language Conference is interdisciplinary, and usually includes work from a variety of fields ranging from anthropology to mass communication, with everything else in between. We are particularly interested in topics not usually seen at th e conference: methodology of language and gender research, phonetics of gender, non-biased language movements, historical change in gendered language, and the like. Papers need not explicitly compare womenıs and menıs speech, and while we encourage work o n womenıs and girlsı speech, studies of menıs or boysıspeech is also welcome.
