Final Call for Papers: FASL 16

The 16th Annual Workshop on Formal Approaches to Slavic Linguistics (FASL 16)
Stony Brook University May 4-6, 2007

Invited speakers:
David Pesetsky (MIT)
Maria Polinsky (UCSD & Harvard University)
Jerzy Rubach (University of Iowa, University of Warsaw)

Special Lecture: Jindřich Toman (University of Michigan)

Abstracts are invited for 30-minute Main Session presentations (plus 10 minutes for discussion) on topics dealing with formal aspects of Slavic syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology or psycholinguistics.

Abstracts are also invited for a Special Session on "The development, acquisition and attrition of the Slavic languages". Here we seek submissions that explore formal linguistic issues involving first and second language acquisition of Slavic languages, formal analyses of diachronic change of the Slavic languages, of Slavic languages in contact situations, and of the attrition of the Slavic languages in the United States and other non-Slavic contexts.

All abstracts should be no more than two pages in length (including data, references, etc.), in 12- point type. All margins should be at least one inch wide (2.5 cm).
