PALA Publicity

PALA aims to facilitate academic communication between its members using the following : 

• the website, 
• the PALA-ANNOUNCE email list,
• the PALA newsletter (PArLAnce),
• its Twitter account (@PoeticsLinguist),
• and its Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PoeticsandLinguisticsAssociation). 

 ​
​If you are a member of PALA, we are happy to help you disseminate information that might be of interest to PALA members (such as news of about events, or available jobs) via any of the above modes of communication.

What to send to us

If you want us to advertise something, then you need to supply us with a small amount of basic information, plus a link to your webpage, where more information can be found.  

• We can send this information to all members via the PALA email list and, if required, to a wider audience via social media. 
• For conferences, symposia, etc., we can create a PALA Facebook 'event', and this will automatically feed to the PALA website 'Other Events' page.

Conferences and other events
Please include the following information: type of announcement (first circular, call for proposals, call for participation, reminder, etc); title; date; venue; topic; type of event; relevant deadlines; URL for further information and updates. 

News and reports from events
Please send any news or reports about any events you have attended which you think might be of interest to PALA members to the Newsletter Editor for publication in PArLAnce (have a look at previous newsletters for suggestions). This is particularly encouraged if you are a (co)organiser of a PALA-sponsored event.

Jobs
Please include a short, plain text description of the post, a link to further information, and a CLOSING DATE.

Members' publications
We are happy to collect information about new and current publications written by PALA members and include them in PArLAnce, although we do not attempt to maintain a full PALA or stylistics bibliography. Please send in the relevant information in the following format: author; date of publication; title; publisher.

​We may need to edit any text sent to us to ensure that it is of a suitable format and length.

Links to on-line resources
We do not currently maintain a set of links to stylistics or other resources. This can be problematic, as it is difficult to define what sorts of sites we want to link to, and they are difficult to keep up to date. Suggestions on how to do this are welcome!

Privacy and safety
In response to feedback from our members, no photos which clearly depict PALA members are to be shared on our online forums (including Facebook and Twitter), unless all those depicted have expressed their consent.
