Proceedings of ALS2k, the 2000 Conference of the Australian Linguistic Society

The 2000 Australian Linguistic Society Conference was organized by the Linguistics Program of the University of Monash and was held at Melbourne University, 8-9 July 2000.

Papers from these proceedings should be referenced as:

Author(s)-of-paper. 2001. Title-of-paper. In Keith Allan & John Henderson (eds), Proceedings of ALS2k, the 2000 Conference of the Australian Linguistic Society. http://www.als.asn.au.

Note that there is no overall page numbering system for the proceedings as a whole: page numbering begins at 1 in each paper.

Not all papers presented at the conference were accepted for publication. These papers were anonymously peer-reviewed by at least two academic referees to DEST standards. Papers were required to meet the standard for publication in academic journals such as the Australian Journal of Linguistics, subject to a word limit commensurate with the length of conference presentations. The review process for the proceedings was separate from the review process for acceptance of abstracts for the actual conference presentations.

The official date of publication of these proceedings is 25 April 2001.
