On behalf of the Linguistic Institute (being held in Boulder, Colorado  
- the most beautiful place in the U.S. to spend 4 weeks of your summer):

> Dear Funknet members,
>
> The Linguistic Institute 2011 will take place July 7-August 2 on the  
> campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with major  
> sponsorship by the Linguistic Society of America and the university.  
> Courses are being taught by over 100 outstanding international  
> visiting faculty members. In addition, more than 20 affiliated  
> workshops and conference meetings will be held during Institute 2011.
>
> The theme of the 2011 Linguistic Institute is Language in the World,  
> and the focus is on interdisciplinary, empirically based approaches  
> to language. In keeping with this theme, a large suite of courses  
> target language documentation and description, as well as processes  
> of language endangerment and appropriate responses. The Institute  
> not only continues a vital tradition in the field but also showcases  
> the outstanding research and teaching activities at the University  
> of Colorado at Boulder. The 79 one-credit hour courses include many  
> courses on sociolinguistics, field methods, typology, syntactic/ 
> semantic/pragmatic theory, cognitive science and computational  
> linguistics. There will be many workshops, courses and lectures of  
> interest to functionalists, including a plenary talk by evolutionary  
> anthropologist Terence Deacon, and courses and workshops on  
> information structure, sociophonetics, sociolinguistics of  
> endangered languages and the interactional foundations of language.
