REMEMBER PLEASE
This final announcement is a reminder note to the scholars
who are to participate, to register immediately, avoid confusion,
ensure a place of stay and secure copies of the papers.
Your co-operation is solicited to regulate the arrangements.
An active group with less number of participants will be more productive
than a crowd. Hence, the number will be severely restricted.
About 300 scholars - Indian and foreign -are expected.

The International School of Dravidian Linguistics,
St. Xavier's College P.O., Thiruvananthapuram 695 586, Kerala is the

PAPERS
The deadline for the submission of abstract and full-length
paper is 23rd May 2009 and 1st June 2009 respectively. Those received
on time will be duplicated and circulated. Scholars are requested
to bring copies of their papers and abstracts for circulation, if
they are late in sending them to the Secretary. The language of the
paper may be English or Tamil. To reach a wider audience, other language
mediums are allowed but that will not carry the message of the paper
to a larger audience. A registered participant can present only one
paper . We will make efforts to print the papers as a bound volume.
Therefore, please provide original inkjet / laser printouts of the
abstract and full- length paper along with a copy on CD .
