Hey, Linda (and everyone)--
I would like to second your sentiment. The CEA is a great conference, and
last year, our ONE panel of grammar papers was standing room only! These
folks are hungry for what we have to say, so let's give 'em more to think
about!
I'll be submitting something once the early semester rush abates a little.
Looking forward to it!
And BTW: for those who haven't been there, Indy is a lovely city: walkable
downtown, interesting restaurants and shops. Recommended!
Seth
