The Joint Program in Linguistics and Anthropology at the University of Arizona is pleased to announce a symposium focusing on the intersections of the two fields.

We invite the submission of abstracts for papers addressing these interests, which include but are not limited to linguistic variation and change, formal analysis, linguistic documentation and revitalization, interactional, conversation, and discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, language contact, and linguistic anthropology. Work submitted in any of these areas may focus on data from any of the core subfields of linguistic analysis: syntax, phonology, phonetics, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse.

The conference will be held May 9-11, 2008, at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.

Deadline for abstract submission: February 1, 2008.

Abstracts must not exceed two pages in length, minimum 1-inch margins, minimum 12-point font. Send as a PDF to azanli2008@gmail.com.

If you cannot submit electronically, please write to Heidi Orcutt-Gachiri either at the conference email address or via snail mail by December 22, 2007, to let her know to expect your abstract. The snail mail address is Heidi Orcutt-Gachiri, Department of Anthropology, University of Arizona, P.O. Box 210030, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0030 USA.

Presentations will be 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for questions.
