For several reasons, one being some trouble earlier on with the web portal, we have decided to extend to deadline to the end of January 2012. A note to those of you writing us about having trouble logging in: please note that on the log in page, there is a function for having your password sent to you e-mail address (it must of course be the same address you used to register for the congress). Don't forget to follow the Semiotica style sheet.

We ask all participants to send in the full texts of their contribution, using the web portal of the conference, before October 24, 2011. The web portal is where you registered for the conference (http://conference.ht.lu.se/nass-2011/registration-page/). To upload your text, your need to log in using your e-mail address and your password. If you do not remember your password, you can have it sent to your e-mail address. After logging in, choose the appropriate option ("Upload full texts"). We ask also those who have already sent their paper by e-mail to us to upload it it the site. Texts not uploaded to the web portal cannot be taken into account. Please note that only you can have your password sent to you, so we cannot help you. When preparing your paper, please use the Semiotica style sheet (http://www.degruyter.de/files/down/mouton_journal_stylesheet.pdf). Papers should not be longer than 40 000 characters including spaces. At present, we have three offers for printing the acts of the conference, all unsolicited. However, all offers involve a selection of papers, from a somewhat different perspective. If the impression we had during the conference is borne out, there were so many good papers, that we might consider accepting both proposals. As suggested earlier, we always have the option to make a complete publication of the acts on the web, if the papers received stand up to the quality expected.

We thank Michael Ranta for making available online his photos from the conference. If you have any photos from the conference you would like to share with the others presents, please send them to us, and we will make them available on the web site.
