Kansas Working Paper in Linguistics

******How to Submit Your MALC Proceedings Paper******

The Linguistics Department at the University of Kansas will host the 2007 Mid-America Linguistics Conference (MALC).  The conference will be held over the weekend of October 26-28 2007 at the Lawrence campus.  We are especially pleased to be hosting MALC this year, as it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Linguistics Department at the University of Kansas.

We invite abstracts in all areas of linguistics, including (but not restricted to) phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, L1/L2 acquisition, neurolinguistics, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics.  In addition to the main session, there will be special interest sessions on neurolinguistics and less commonly studied languages.  The neurolinguistics session will present current research in the field of neurolinguistics, bringing together researchers and inviting presentations spanning the state-of-the-art in research on human language from a cognitive neuroscience perspective.  The less commonly studied languages session will bring attention to a wide range of typologically diverse languages.  KU has a long tradition of field linguistics research and we welcome abstracts in all areas concerning less commonly studied languages.  The conference will also feature a poster session.  Oral presentations will be allowed 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.  Conference proceedings will be published electronically in the Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics.

Special sessions: neurolinguistics and less commonly studied languages
