The Texas Linguistics Society is inviting submissions for two para-sessions:
One page abstracts (plus references) should be submitted in PDF or DOC format in 11-12 point font through EasyChair. Authors whose abstracts are accepted are encouraged to submit a short paper (10-20 pages). These will be collected into an edited volume for publication.
Registration is split into two parts: registration and payment. We will be accepting both registration and payment throughout the conference so there is no deadline for registration or payment. Registration fees are waived for registered NASSLLI, RAIN and Turing participants but we ask that you still register so we can plan for attendance.
Checks should be made out to the Texas Linguistics Society and mailed to:

The University of Texas is located just a few miles north of downtown Austin. It is accessible primarily via Guadalupe St. which runs along the entire west side of the main campus.
The main airport servicing Austin, TX and the surrounding area is the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Shuttles and Taxis are available from AUS and the Route 100 Airport Flyer bus has stops on the UT campus at the intersection of 23rd St. E. and Robert Dedman Dr.
We have also made arrangements with some UT graduate students to provide accommodations for TLS participants. If you wish to stay with a graduate student, please let us know via email (tls.conference@gmail.com) with the following information:
NASSLLI, the North American Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information, is a one-week summer school being held on June 18th-22nd, prior to TLS. It is aimed at formally-minded graduate students and interdisciplinary researchers in Philosophy, Computer Science, Linguistics, Psychology, and related fields.
NASSLLI is hosting 20 courses and workshops, including invited courses by Johan van Benthem, Craige Roberts, Noah Goodman, Mark Steedman, and Chris Potts. Registration is currently open.
Reasoning and Interaction at NASSLLI (RAIN) is a workshop to be held immediately after NASSLLI and alongside TLS on June 23rd and 24th. RAIN will feature talks by NASSLLI instructors and students whose work is related to reasoning and/or interactions among individuals and groups.
RAIN is also accepting submissions and is especially interested in interdisciplinary work on formal models of human reasoning, modal logic, rationality, game theory, spatial & temporal reasoning, and related topics.
Alan Turing, inventor of the Turing machine and one of the earliest pioneers of computer science and artificial intelligence was born 100 years ago on June 23rd, 1912.
To commemorate the occasion, speakers have been invited to talk Turing's life and discuss work in the fields Turing influenced. The current program includes talks by Bob King and Kevin Knight.
