Great conference!

The 2007 Annual Conference of the Australian Linguistic Society was a great success, and the conference organisers would like to thank everyone who gave a paper, attended, or helped us in some way with the conference organisation.  Thank you!!

This year's conference was held at the University of Adelaide from the 26th to the 28th of September, in association with the Indigenous Languages Conference and the 2007 conference of Australex, the Australasian Association for Lexicography.

Call for papers for proceedings

As in past years, selected papers from the ALS Conference will be published on the web.  The proceedings will be fully refereed to DEST-approved standards, and have an ISBN to make it easier to convince your institution that the proceedings exist.  Please note that these proceedings and instructions relate to papers presented in the general sessions of the ALS conference only.  The two workshops are (I believe) organising their own publications, so you should contact the workshop organisers about publishing your workshop paper; if your paper was presented at ILC, you should already know about the proceedings volume for that conference.

There is a style sheet for the ALS general proceedings papers, which gives all the details about length (5000 words or less), process, fonts, etc, etc.  You can download a PDF version of the style sheet if you want, but most people will probably find it easier to download a zipped archive containing a Microsoft Word document template which contains the same information and has styles already set up to make it easy for you to follow the appropriate style.  If you're having trouble getting access to that, send Tim an email and he can send you the .dot file itself (although your institution's/ISP's/computer's virus alert system may simply deny that as a possibility).

Please submit a .doc or .rtf version of your paper to Tim Curnow ([email protected]) by 31 October 2007.
