WORKSHOP ON AGREEMENT

September 16-17, 2002

UMIST (Manchester, UK)

Sponsored by ESRC and LAGB

The Surrey Morphology Group is organising a workshop on
agreement, to be held in conjunction with the 2002 autumn
meeting of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain.

The aim of the workshop is to disseminate the results from
an ESRC project on agreement carried out by Greville Corbett,
Dunstan Brown, Carole Tiberius, and Julia Barron. There
will be papers by our consultants Nick Evans and Marianne
Mithun, and further invited papers on agreement by Bernard
Comrie, Maria Polinsky, and Anna Siewierska.

The project involves a typological database which will be
of interest to linguists of different persuasions and to
psycholinguists. The workshop will take place on 16-17
September 2002, immediately before the LAGB. At the
workshop, there will be opportunity for discussion, but
we are not inviting additional papers.

It is hoped that participants at the workshop will stay on
to the LAGB and offer abstracts to the main meeting.

Booking information will be available through the LAGB
circulars. In the meantime, we welcome expressions of
interest (to c.tiberius at surrey.ac.uk).

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
OF THE SPANISH COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION
(AELCO/SCOLA)

València, 15th - 17th May 2002

http://www.um.es/lincoing/aelco2002/aelco2002.htm

The Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (Asociación Española de
Lingüística Cognitiva-AELCO/SCOLA) is member of the International Cognitive
Linguistics Association. The Association originated as a forum for researchers
working on various topics in Cognitive Linguistics (e.g. prototypes,
iconicity,
metaphorization, mental imagery, cognitive models, etc.). This approach to
language includes a whole range of theoretical and descriptive proposals that
see language as intimately tied to the interaction of cultural, psychological,
communicative, and functional constraints, and which must be analyzed in the
context of conceptualization and mental processing.

Previous meetings have been held in Alacant (1998) and Madrid (2000). The III
AELCO/SCOLA Conference will take place at the University of Valencia (15t-
17th May 2002).

Book description:
Inadvertently, African languages have been neglected by many of those
performing research in the field of linguistics. In an attempt to
expand and diversify the research base of African languages, a
handful of linguists have begun to focus their attention on
lesser-known languages.

A Grammar of Lele is the first book ever written on Lele, an
endangered language spoken in the Republic of Chad. The language
belongs to the Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family, whose other
members are Semitic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Omotic, and Berber. This
book explores the use of vowel harmony as a means of coding
categories of morphemes. Suffixes undergo vowel harmony rules;
clitics do not, and must occur in specified contexts; free morphemes,
which also do not undergo vowel harmony rules, have relatively free
distribution. The language has also an intriguing reference system,
complex sentence structures, and the coding of backgrounding. The
study of these and other categories and structures not encountered in
the more familiar Indo-European languages will appeal to lovers of
languages and linguistics.

Message-ID: <WED.19.DEC.2001.003755.0600.KSINWONG@STUDENTS.WISC.EDU>

Dear List Members,

It's been quite a while since I posed the query on constituents and
constituent order in conversational discourse. I'd like to say thank you
especially to Monica Turk in China, who's recently managed to forward to me
her work on word order in Russian conversation. A fine piece of work indeed.
Also, I'd like to thank Bruce Richman & Wouden A. van der for recommending
Jim Miller & Regina Weinart's (1998) Spontaneous Spoken Language. Anybody
interested in naturally occurring language shouldn't miss this one I agree.
Many thanks also go to Olga T. Yokoyama, Virginia Gill, Sandy Thompson, Don
Carroll, Gene Lerner, and others for insightful discussions and the
following recommendations:

is the most difficult one, so it may be better to start with ch. 2 and go
back once you are more at home with the model."

Subject: John Verhaar, RIP
Message-ID: <FRI.21.DEC.2001.012028.0800.TGIVON@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU>

Dear Friends,

This year has turned out to be rather devastating for us, or so it
seems. So once again it befalls upon me to inform you that we have lost
another founding member of our network, FR. JOHN VERHAAR, SJ.

John was a founder and long-time editor of the journal FOUNDATIONS OF
LANGUAGE, which he later converted into the prime venue for
empirical--typological, functional, discourse, diachronic,
cognitive--linguistics. He got us together with our good publisher, John
Benjamins of Amsterdam, and was prime mover in initiating two of our
book series, TYPOLOGICAL STUDIES IN LANGUAGE (1982---) and the
long-running SL COMPANION SERIES.

It took much courage, integrity and foresight on John's part to have
made his deliberate, fateful move towards our network; in particular
given the zeitgeist. Nonetheless, once he made up his mind, John put all
his intellectual resources, conviction and considerable ingenuity into
making it possible for our kind of linguistics to thrive.

John was an inspired, wide-ranging and restless intellectual explorer,
fortified by his three-fold love of and commitment to serious
epitemology, responsible science, and the Mysteries of his Catholic
Faith. As a good neo-Thomist, John strove to integrate these three
guide-posts of his life into a single, coherent perspective. But unlike
many others who have attempted this daunting leap, he was patient enough
to recognize that such an integration was a monumental undertaking, and
that it should not be attempted rashly, nor do violence to either of its
three supporting pillars. The old Taoist paradox of unity in diversity
seems to have served John as beacon.

Above all, John was a wonderful friend, a generous colleague, a
supportive editor, and a courageous and compassionate human being. His
commitment to other cultures and their languages was exercised not only
in his work in Indonesia and New Guinea, but also wherever he went and
met the world. We will sorely miss him.

Requiescat In Pacem, gentle soul. Hasta lo que viene.

                                                   T. Givon

WORKSHOP ON AGREEMENT

September 16-17, 2002

UMIST (Manchester, UK)

Sponsored by ESRC and LAGB

The Surrey Morphology Group is organising a workshop on
agreement, to be held in conjunction with the 2002 autumn
meeting of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain.

The aim of the workshop is to disseminate the results from
an ESRC project on agreement carried out by Greville Corbett,
Dunstan Brown, Carole Tiberius, and Julia Barron. There
will be papers by our consultants Nick Evans and Marianne
Mithun, and further invited papers on agreement by Bernard
Comrie, Maria Polinsky, and Anna Siewierska.

The project involves a typological database which will be
of interest to linguists of different persuasions and to
psycholinguists. The workshop will take place on 16-17
September 2002, immediately before the LAGB. At the
workshop, there will be opportunity for discussion, but
we are not inviting additional papers.

It is hoped that participants at the workshop will stay on
to the LAGB and offer abstracts to the main meeting.

Booking information will be available through the LAGB
circulars. In the meantime, we welcome expressions of
interest (to c.tiberius at surrey.ac.uk).

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

(AELCO/SCOLA)

Val?ncia, 15th - 17th May 2002

http://www.um.es/lincoing/aelco2002/aelco2002.htm

The Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (Asociaci?n Espa?ola de
Ling??stica Cognitiva-AELCO/SCOLA) is member of the International Cognitive
Linguistics Association. The Association originated as a forum for researchers
working on various topics in Cognitive Linguistics (e.g. prototypes,
iconicity,
metaphorization, mental imagery, cognitive models, etc.). This approach to
language includes a whole range of theoretical and descriptive proposals that
see language as intimately tied to the interaction of cultural, psychological,
communicative, and functional constraints, and which must be analyzed in the
context of conceptualization and mental processing.

Previous meetings have been held in Alacant (1998) and Madrid (2000). The III
AELCO/SCOLA Conference will take place at the University of Valencia (15t-
17th May 2002).

Book description:
Inadvertently, African languages have been neglected by many of those
performing research in the field of linguistics. In an attempt to
expand and diversify the research base of African languages, a
handful of linguists have begun to focus their attention on
lesser-known languages.

A Grammar of Lele is the first book ever written on Lele, an
endangered language spoken in the Republic of Chad. The language
belongs to the Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family, whose other
members are Semitic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Omotic, and Berber. This
book explores the use of vowel harmony as a means of coding
categories of morphemes. Suffixes undergo vowel harmony rules;
clitics do not, and must occur in specified contexts; free morphemes,
which also do not undergo vowel harmony rules, have relatively free
distribution. The language has also an intriguing reference system,
complex sentence structures, and the coding of backgrounding. The
study of these and other categories and structures not encountered in
the more familiar Indo-European languages will appeal to lovers of
languages and linguistics.

Message-ID: <WED.19.DEC.2001.003755.0600.KSINWONG@STUDENTS.WISC.EDU>

Dear List Members,

It's been quite a while since I posed the query on constituents and
constituent order in conversational discourse. I'd like to say thank you
especially to Monica Turk in China, who's recently managed to forward to me
her work on word order in Russian conversation. A fine piece of work indeed.
Also, I'd like to thank Bruce Richman & Wouden A. van der for recommending
Jim Miller & Regina Weinart's (1998) Spontaneous Spoken Language. Anybody
interested in naturally occurring language shouldn't miss this one I agree.
Many thanks also go to Olga T. Yokoyama, Virginia Gill, Sandy Thompson, Don
Carroll, Gene Lerner, and others for insightful discussions and the
following recommendations:

is the most difficult one, so it may be better to start with ch. 2 and go
back once you are more at home with the model."

Subject: John Verhaar, RIP
Message-ID: <FRI.21.DEC.2001.012028.0800.TGIVON@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU>

Dear Friends,

This year has turned out to be rather devastating for us, or so it
seems. So once again it befalls upon me to inform you that we have lost
another founding member of our network, FR. JOHN VERHAAR, SJ.

John was a founder and long-time editor of the journal FOUNDATIONS OF
LANGUAGE, which he later converted into the prime venue for
empirical--typological, functional, discourse, diachronic,
cognitive--linguistics. He got us together with our good publisher, John
Benjamins of Amsterdam, and was prime mover in initiating two of our
book series, TYPOLOGICAL STUDIES IN LANGUAGE (1982---) and the
long-running SL COMPANION SERIES.

It took much courage, integrity and foresight on John's part to have
made his deliberate, fateful move towards our network; in particular
given the zeitgeist. Nonetheless, once he made up his mind, John put all
his intellectual resources, conviction and considerable ingenuity into
making it possible for our kind of linguistics to thrive.

John was an inspired, wide-ranging and restless intellectual explorer,
fortified by his three-fold love of and commitment to serious
epitemology, responsible science, and the Mysteries of his Catholic
Faith. As a good neo-Thomist, John strove to integrate these three
guide-posts of his life into a single, coherent perspective. But unlike
many others who have attempted this daunting leap, he was patient enough
to recognize that such an integration was a monumental undertaking, and
that it should not be attempted rashly, nor do violence to either of its
three supporting pillars. The old Taoist paradox of unity in diversity
seems to have served John as beacon.

Above all, John was a wonderful friend, a generous colleague, a
supportive editor, and a courageous and compassionate human being. His
commitment to other cultures and their languages was exercised not only
in his work in Indonesia and New Guinea, but also wherever he went and
met the world. We will sorely miss him.

Requiescat In Pacem, gentle soul. Hasta lo que viene.

                                                   T. Givon
