Thinking about doing a language or linguistic paper for next year's
conference at Kalamazoo? If you are, then please check out the
following Call for Papers from the newly formed Society for Medieval
Languages and Linguistics, which will have two sessions, one an open
session, the other entitled "Problems in Translation in the Writings of
Mediaeval Woman Mystics."
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Society for Mediaeval Languages and Linguistics is issuing a call
for papers to be delivered at the 34th Annual Congress for Mediaeval
Studies in Kalamazoo, MI on May 6-9, 1999. These papers may be on any
topic with a primary linguistic focus dealing with languages spoken
and/or written between AD 450-1500. We have also proposed, under our
aegis, a themed session with the provisional title of "Problems in
Translation in the Writings of Mediaeval Woman Mystics."
Papers should be designed to be 20 minutes long; audiovisual equipment
and assistance is available, if indicated at the time of submission of
the abstract.
Abstracts should adhere to the following rules, established by the Board
of the Mediaeval Institute, who are the organizers of the Congress:
1. Papers submitted will be essentially new and will not have been
presented in public before.
2. At top of the front page, include:
Title of Paper
Subject Area
Name of author; institutional affiliation; complete
mailing
address; phone and FAX numbers; and e-mail address
Confirmation of 20-minute reading time
3. Abstracts must be typed, double-spaced, not more than 300 words in
length, and must clearly indicate the paper's thesis, methodology, and
conclusions.
4. Two copies of the abstract must be submitted by the stipulated
deadline date.
5. An A-V/Computer Needs Form, obtainable from the Mediaeval
Institute,
Western Michigan University, 1201 Oliver Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49008,
must be
attached to the back of the abstract, even if no A-V or computer is
needed. Late A-V requests cannot be met.
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is OCTOBER 1, 1998. This is a
firm deadline; no paper received after that date can be considered for
the 1999 Congress.
Send abstracts and A-V forms for both themed and unthemed sessions
directly to:
Dr. Paul A. Johnston, Jr.
Dept. of English, Western Michigan University,
915 Sprau Tower
Kalamazoo, MI 49008

Languages and Linguistics can be obtained via the phone numbers and
