Call for Papers
Faculty and graduate students are invited to submit abstracts for 30-
minute papers on any linguistic or philological aspect of any historic
or modern Germanic language or dialect, including English (to 1500)
and the extraterritorial varieties. Papers from a range of linguistic
subfields, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, socio-linguistics, language acquisition, contact, and
change, as well as differing theoretical approaches, are especially
welcome.
Please send to the address below a one-page, 12-point font
abstract that is headed only by the title of your paper, as well as a
separate 3" x 5" index card with your name, institutional affiliation,
mailing address, phone/fax numbers, email address, and the title of

Location and Accommodation
Banff is the townsite of Banff National Park located in the Rocky
Mountains. This area is easily one of the most beautiful in the world
and certainly an ideal place to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
The conference will take place at the Banff Conference Centre.
Rooms, including breakfast and lunch, are available at a special
conference rate of CDN $137.03 (U.S. $92.50) for a single or CDN
$87.53 (U.S. $59.10) per person for a double. Please note: These
rates apply only to conference participants. If two people (e.g. you
and your spouse or a friend) share a room and only one is attending
the conference, the single rate applies; i.e. CDN $137.03 (U.S.
$92.50). There is an additional 5% provincial hotel room tax, and a
7% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The GST on all accomodation
is refundable to Non-Canadian residents upon application. The Banff
Conference Centre is extending these rates for three days before
and after the conference, so we hope that you will find time to
explore the area. Further information will be provided later.
Please note: The exchange rate is presently U.S. $1.00 = CDN
$1.48.
Transportation
Banff is most easily accessible from Calgary, Alberta, located about
120 kilometres (70 miles) to the east. There are some direct shuttle
buses from Calgary International Airport to Banff, and frequent
buses from Calgary downtown to Banff. We will provide full details
on transportation later.
The Diebold Awards
Beginning with GLAC-6, thanks to generous funding from the
Diebold Foundation, a number of prizes in the amount of $250 are
awarded to the best graduate student papers presented at the
conference. A jury of three members appointed by the Executive
Committee of the Society for Germanic Philology will judge
conference papers submitted in writing within four weeks of the
conference.
The Society for Germanic Linguistics
The Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference is sponsored by the
Society for Germanic Linguistics (SGL). The SGL also publishes
the Journal of Germanic Linguistics, a semiannual journal devoted to
the study of all present and historical Germanic varieties, including
English (to 1500). Information on submissions to the journal, as well
as Society membership, are accessible through the SGL website.
