OCTOBER 11-13, 2018, PROVO (ASPEN GROVE) UTAH

47th Meeting of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest


THEME: Linguistic Strategies of Social Justice: Contact, Contrast, and Convergence

The Linguistic Association of the Southwest (LASSO) is a linguistics association in the United States whose purpose is the advancement of the scientific study of language. While many of our members study the languages of the southwestern United States, LASSO has an international focus; it draws its membership and includes linguistic scholarship from any language and any region in the world.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We welcome papers in all areas of linguistics, but we particularly encourage presentations on linguistic justice, raciolinguistics, languagelessness, ideologies of language standardization, nationalist language ideologies, language variation and contact, language policy, planning, linguistic attitudes, among other areas. Proposals for panels with multiple speakers are also welcome provided they fit within the 90-minute time frame of the concurrent sessions. We are also open for suggestions on workshops, especially those dealing with interdisciplinary topics. Papers may be presented in either English or Spanish. Please submit papers via EasyAbs from March 19, 2018 to June 1, 2018.

VENUE, TRAVEL, AND LODGING

  • The conference will take place in the Wasatch mountains at Aspen Grove in Provo Canyon, an hour (57 miles) from the Salt Lake City airport.
  • Given the secluded location we suggest renting a car or teaming up with another attendee for transportation. No shuttles between Aspen Grove and Provo-Orem are available. A car also makes after conference activities easier.
  • Limited rustic mountain cabin lodging is available at Aspen Grove. Call 801-225-9554 to reserve your cabin.
  • Lodging is also available in Provo and Orem, 25-30 minutes from Aspen Grove. Make your reservations early since the conference falls on the same day as a home football game. No hotel rooms have been reserved for the conference.
  • Most meals will be provided at Aspen Grove. Please advise of special dietary needs in advance.
  • Aspen Grove is a non-smoking facility. Coffee and tea are available in Provo-Orem hotels, as well as at Sundance (5 minutes from Aspen Grove), but not at Aspen Grove.
