It’s that time of year again. A preliminary schedule for the American Anthropological Association’s 2012 Annual Meeting has been released, and I am compiling my annual listing of linguistic and language-related panels.
SLA will provide access to handouts for some presentations online here. Any presenter who wants to add her or his handout to the list may submit it from that page, or email it to the SLA web guru.
The usual caveats apply: The schedule is preliminary, and abstracts are not yet available. Check the AAA meeting page for more information as it becomes available. As ever, with so many events scheduled it is inevitable that two of your favorites will be held at the same time.
This year’s annual meeting will be held in San Francisco November 14-18 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel. The meeting’s theme is “Borders and Crossings”.
There are more than fifty panel discussions on language-related issues (of more than 700 total sessions). The schedule below lists panel sessions, a poster session, and the SLA business meeting; it does not include the many “innovents” and workshops that also take place during the annual meeting.
If I have missed any relevant sessions, please do let me know. And as always, please let me know if I have misspelled your name or introduced other errors; leave a comment or email me (my last name “at” ilas.nagoya-u.ac.jp).
