Call for Papers
Abstract submission deadline extended: Monday, January 21, 2013 (formerly January 14)
Abstracts are invited for papers in any area of formal linguistics (including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) within any theoretical framework. We welcome papers that address diachronic, sociolinguistic, or applied topics from a formal perspective, and we are especially interested in papers seeking to relate the interests of formal linguists and the concerns of indigenous communities.
We are pleased to announce the following confirmed invited speakers:
- Judith Aissen (UC Santa Cruz)
- Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins (Victoria)
- Monica Macaulay (Wisconsin)
- B'alam Mateo Toledo (CIESAS)
- Joyce McDonough (Rochester)
- Andrés Salanova (Ottawa)
- Maziar Toosarvandani (MIT)
- Lorna Williams (Victoria)
WSCLA 18 will run all day on Friday and Saturday, April 5-6, and through mid-day on Sunday, April 7. We expect a volume of papers to appear in the UBCWPL series.
