Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas 6: Uppsala, Sweden

Various UW folks have attended this workshop and recommend it highly. Besides, it's Sweden in September.

The 6th Annual Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas (WILA6) will take place on September 24–26, 2015, at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. The workshop is hosted by the Department of English.

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations on any aspect of the linguistics of heritage languages in the Americas (e.g., structural, generative, historical, sociolinguistic, or experimental). Abstracts should be no more than one page in length, but may include a second page with diagrams, charts, and references. The abstract itself should be anonymous, while the accompanying email should contain author information and the title of the paper. Abstracts should be sent to Joe Salmons. 

Submission Deadline: June 15, 2015. Decisions on acceptance will be announced in July.
