               Call for Papers



                LASSO XXIV



            24th Annual Meeting of the

         Linguistic Association of the Southwest



               October 6-8, 1995

            New Mexico State University

             Las Cruces, New Mexico



   Invited Speaker: George Lakoff, University of California, Berkeley



Proposals for papers in any area of linguistics will be considered.

Submissions for the 1995 Las Cruces meeting are particularly encouraged in the

areas of "Language maintenance and shift" and "Language and computers." Papers

by graduate students are especially solicited and will be considered for the

Helmut Esau Prize, a $250 cash award made annually by LASSO.



Presentation time for papers will be limited to twenty minutes plus ten

minutes for discussion.



**The deadline for receipt of abstracts is June 15, 1995.**

Notification of acceptance of papers will be sent out by August 1, 1995. Only

one abstract as single author and a second as co-author will be accepted from

any individual.



Abstracts must be no longer than one page (c. 250 words) and should summarize

the main points of the paper and explain relevant aspects of the data,

methodology, and argumentation employed; abstracts of accepted papers will be

published exactly as received in a booklet for distribution at the meeting. At

the beginning of your abstract place the paper title, and at the end of the

abstract (or on a separate page) repeat the title along with your name,

affiliation, and mailing address (and e-mail address if you have one).



It is preferred that abstracts be submitted by e-mail to:

     74563.641[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]compuserve.com

In the absence of e-mail, or if your abstract contains any special symbols,

send one hard copy of the abstract (or diskette labeled for operating system

and word processing program) to:

        Carolyn Hartnett

        2027 Bay St.

        Texas City, TX 77590

          Tel. (409) 948-1446



Presentation of papers at the LASSO annual meetings is a privilege of

membership in LASSO; 1995 dues must be paid by June 15 in order for your

abstract to be considered. Annual membership dues for individuals are US$15.00
