Welcome to the homepage of MILC

What, you ask, is MILC? Well, MILC is...
      the Madison Informal Linguistics Collective
      the Madison Informal Linguistics Conference
      the Madison Informal Linguistics Colloquium
      the Madison Informal Linguistics.com
      the Madison Insurgent Linguistics Conspiracy
      a party masquerading as a conference, hosted by Joe Salmons & Monica Macaulay

MILC started in 1997 and we most recently held MILC 7 - in fact, a special MILC henceforth to be known as WARM MILC. Each time we issue a call for papers and people submit abstracts in response, and then at the party we collect the abstracts into a "conference" program. It's the only party we know of where people spend the first 10 minutes at the party reading. The collected wisdom that is MILC is presented below (just follow the links for pdfs), for your enjoyment and edification.

(If I can get my butt in gear eventually I will put some of the best abstracts up as webpages so that you don't have to go through the whole downloading thang.)
