Papers are invited dealing with any area of cetacean linguistics, including: squeak phonetics, morphology, syntax, whale language acquisition, historical/comparative studies (especially the dolphin/porpoise debate), and humpback prosody. All papers should be presented in Esperanto, Fortran, or any widely-dispersed delphinic language. Presentations will last until any audience member needs to go up for air. (Presenters are also reminded to abide, once again, by last year’s new regulation against inserting Flipper jokes into the text of their papers.)
