Call for Participation

The deadline for abstracts for all presentations at the Annual Meeting at the Hyatt Regency and the Doubletree Hotel in Albuquerque, 5-8 January 2006, is 1 September 2005, 5:00 PM EDT. Submissions should be addressed to: LSA Secretariat, 1325 18 St, NW, Ste 211, Washington, DC 20036-6501.

Members are advised that post office delivery, INCLUDING EXPRESS MAIL AND PRIORITY MAIL, is erratic. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered and will be returned to the authors. Strict enforcement of this deadline is necessary.

The privilege of offering papers for presentation at the LSA Annual Meeting is open to all members of the Society. Members may submit papers in any subarea in two categories--anonymously reviewed 20-minute papers and anonymously reviewed poster sessions. (The deadline for preliminary proposals for organized sessions has passed.)

The abstract guidelines/specifications and the abstract submission form for 20-minute papers and poster sessions may be found as inserts in this bulletin. The guidelines for abstract preparation must be rigorously adhered to for the abstracts to be considered by the Program Committee.

Meeting rooms will be equipped with a microphone, an LCD projector, and a screen. Computers will not be provided. The cost of one additional piece of equipment will be covered if the Program Committee determines that the equipment is integral to the presentation.

Authors of accepted papers must preregister by 17 October (the deadline for receipt of the abstract for the Annual Meeting Handbook) or the paper will be withdrawn.
