Please visit our website, which is gradually expanding to
provide all relevant information about the conference.
Also, note that we are arranging a variety of package
options for participants who would like to visit Angkor Wat
immediately after the conference (i.e. departing for Angkor
Wat on either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning - with
the option of either flying out directly to Bangkok from
Siem Reap or back through Phnom Penh on the Sunday or
chosen day).
Papers should relate to the focus areas of the conference,
the principal theme of which is "Defining the Role of
Language in Development". Papers should be submitted
electronically through the website. Please note the
importance of adhering to the word limits in your
abstracts, as the website format is not sympathetic to wild
variations from the norm.
