Title: Second Call for Papers: Working Papers in Athabascan Linguistics
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-2738.html#1 Call For Papers: Working Papers in Athabascan/Dene Languages and Linguistics To be published as Alaska Native Language Center Working Papers No. 6, edited by Siri Tuttle, Leslie Saxon, Suzanne Gessner and Andrea Berez. Since 2001 the Alaska Native Language Center has annually published the proceedings of the Athabascan/Dene Languages Conference in its Working Papers series. After the very successful Dene Languages Conference in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada in June 2006, we would like to continue the annual publication tradition by assembling a collection of working papers to be published in late Fall 2006. We welcome submissions both from participants in the Yellowknife Conference, and from people who were not able to participate. Papers are invited on all areas of Athabascan/Dene linguistics, language teaching, language policy, and language revitalization. Any topic that would be appropriate for presentation at the Athabascan/Dene Languages Conference is also appropriate for this Working Papers volume. We particularly welcome reports on works-in-progress, explorations of new data, and language pedagogy. As with previous Working Papers volumes, submissions will be editorially reviewed and publication in the volume does not preclude publication elsewhere. The deadline for submission is September 30, 2006. Please direct questions to Siri Tuttle ffsgt1uaf.edu or (907)474-5708. For more information, visit http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-2738.html#1 .
