Proposals must be received by December 1, 1999.
Any topic related to second language writing is welcome.
We especially encourage proposals that focus on second or foreign languages other than English, English as a foreign language, and instructional contexts other than higher education. We also encourage proposals from nonnative speakers of English. In the last few years, interest in questions of language production has greatly increased. One of the central issues dealt with in this area is the question of how language-specific structures determine the ways in which situations are verbalized. This has partly been attributed to the fact that different concepts are grammaticalized to different degrees in different languages.
