[EDLING:924] Smithsonian Institute forensic linguistics announcement

[M van Naerssen]

Pardon this self-promotional announcement but in case you know of anyone in 
the Washington, D.C. area that might be interested....

Here's an announcement of a talk (with Power Point) that I've been invited 
to give at the Smithsonian Institution (US national museum
system in Washington, D.C.) on September 21.  It is one session of a 
year-around variety of educational presentations sponsored by the
Smithsonian Associates.

The link will give you an idea of what my talk will be about.  If you know 
of any linguistics or law enforcement groups in the Washington, D.C. area 
that might be interested, at a general level, please forward it.  I have 
already had it sent to Georgetown University, Center for Applied
Linguistics,  TESOL, and WATESOL.

I should, however, warn you that it has to be oriented towards the general 
public, introductory in nature. And the announcement is a compromise between 
my forensic linguistics concerns and the marketing concerns of the 
Smithsonian.  It doesn't sound like a conference presentation abstract.
