30th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages
University of Florida, Gainesville
February 24-27, 2000
Invited Speakers:
Maria-Luisa Rivero (University of Ottawa)
Bernard Tranel (UC-Irvine)
John Lipski (University of New Mexico)

MAIN SESSION   (Organized by Caroline Wiltshire and Jean Casagrande)

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion) on any aspect of Romance linguistics.

          Authors are asked to send six (6) copies of an anonymous abstract and one additional copy with the author's name and affiliation (the latter will be reproduced in the Meeting Handbook if the paper is accepted for presentation).
Abstracts should be no more than two pages in length (including examples and references), in 12-point type.
All margins should be at least one inch wide (or 2.5 cm).
Please also include a legible 3" x 5" card with paper title, name of author(s), affiliation(s), address, phone number, and e-mail address.
To facilitate the review process, please indicate the primary area of linguistics addressed in the paper. Those who wish to be considered for both the Main Session and the Parasession (see below) should send two sets of materials (please indicate MAIN SESSION/PARASESSION).
Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author.
E-mail submissions will be accepted, provided that a camera-ready hardcopy is received no later than October 25, 1999 (sorry, no faxes will be accepted).
Preference will be given to presentations not duplicated at other major conferences (e.g., LSA, NELS, WCCFL). Authors are asked to indicate prior or planned presentations of their papers on the abstract submission card.

Special Anniversary Session:
Because of the milestone nature of the 30th LSRL in the year 2000, it would be appropriate to have retrospectives of the sub-areas of phonology, morphology, and syntax. If we have good coverage of all areas, such papers may be considered for the eventual publication. Submissions of this kind should follow the abstract guidelines for the main session and should be sent to the MAIN SESSION address, but indicate History of Romance Linguistics as the primary area.


PARASESSION   (Organized by Joaquim Camps)
Current issues in Romance Language Sociolinguistics and Second Language Acquisition

Abstracts for twenty-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion) are invited for a parasession.
We welcome studies on either Romance language sociolinguistics or the acquisition of Romance languages (either as second or foreign languages).

Abstract guidelines are the same as those for the Main Session.
