For Omentielva Nelya we call for scholarly papers on all aspects of

any or all of Tolkien's invented languages, in any or all of their

conceptual stages.



The proceedings of the conference will be published in the third volume

of Arda Philology, to appear in 2010.



To propose a paper, send an abstract to Beregond, Anders Stenström, the

Omentielva Secretary. Do not make the abstract too short; a couple of

hundred words will normally be needed (but it of course depends on the

complexity of your subject). You do not need to have your conclusions

all worked out in the proposal, but delineate how you intend to reach

them. Append a short presentation of yourself (four lines or less).

Specify which sources you will rely on, and whether you will discuss any

previous studies.



We expect the presentation of a paper to take 40 minutes. But we aim at

a single-thread programme, and so can accommodate papers of varying

length. Please specify how long you expect to speak, and any technical

equipment you need. Be prepared for questions and discussion at the end

of your presentation.



Copyright or similar considerations may apply. For publication, you have

to provide a copy of your paper in which all quotation is highlighted

and the source given.



Append a short presentation of yourself (four lines or less).



If you wish to submit a paper but can not attend the conference, you may

send a paper to be read and discussed. In the latter case, state any

directions or preferences you may have for the presentation.



[Anders Stenström]
