Call for papers:

GLAC 13 will be held at Penn State. Papers may deal with any aspect of the Germanic languages (including English to 1500), synchronic or diachronic.

Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to submit abstracts for 20- or 30-minute papers (plus 10 minutes of discussion) on any linguistic or philological aspect of any historical or modern Germanic language or dialect, including English (to 1500) and the extra-territorial varieties. Papers from a range of linguistic subfields, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, contact, and change, as well as differing theoretical approaches, are welcome.

Please submit a single-spaced one-page abstract (in .pdf, .doc or .rtf format) online at our website: http://www.psu.edu/dept/glac/. Include only a title but no author information in the abstract itself. All abstracts will undergo anonymous review. Submissions should be in pdf format if any specialized fonts are used. The deadline for submissions is January 3, 2007. Notifications of acceptance will be distributed by February 1, 2007.
