The Board of Directors of the African Studies Association reduced the rate to encourage students to participate in and attend the conference. Send a copy of a valid student ID card. Sessions will be two hours long, and during that time presenters can expect to speak with many different people about many different aspects of their research. Abstracts for the Baobab poster sessions should be prepared just like abstracts for more formal presentations. Abstracts for papers on all topics concerning linguistic aspects of the languages of Africa are invited.
Papers addressing the theme are particularly welcome.
ACAL participants are invited to stay on to attend this workshop. If interested in contributing, contact Larry Hyman or Ian Maddieson at the address listed above.
