Linguistic Subfield: Sociolinguistics The 33rd annual New Ways of Analyzing Variation conference will be held at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) on Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2004. In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the 1979 Ann Arbor Black English trial, the theme of the conference is "Language, Ethnicity, and Education". Penelope Eckert, Stanford University, will give a plenary address and two panels will focus on the trial: (1) Revisiting the Ann Arbor Black English Case, and (2) Considering the Effects of the Ann Arbor Black English Case for Sociolinguistics in Education. We invite strong submissions for 20-minute papers from all areas of sociolinguistics, including, but certainly not limited to those pertaining to ethnicity and/or sociolinguistics in education. Following NWAVE 32's lead in emphasizing an important poster session, we also encourage strong submissions for posters. Also, we are pleased to announce that we will accept a limited number of abstracts for panel sessions. For Paper and Poster Submissions: 500-word abstracts are due June 1, 2004 and may be submitted electronically at our website (preferred); via e-mail (nwav33@umich.edu) or in print form to Jennifer Nguyen, (jgnguyen@umich.edu).

Abstracts containing specialized fonts, characters or graphics must be submitted in PDF format. Abstracts for papers and posters will undergo anonymous review. For Panel Organizers and Participants: Panel applications must be submitted by June 1, 2004 by the panel organizer, using the submission form.

Organizers may propose one session containing 3 papers or two sessions containing either 6 papers or 5 papers plus a 25-minute discussion period. Participants on panels may also submit an additional abstract for an individual presentation, but must agree to withdraw their individual single-authored paper if the panel is accepted.
