<font face="Garamond">Let me call your attention to the fact that
we are still accepting students and affiliates for the Linguistic Society
of America's 2001 Institute, September 25-August 3, in Santa
Barbara, California . There are many events of interest to members of
this list, including 3-week and 6-week courses on functional linguistics,
discourse, grammar, semantics, pragmatics, conversation analysis,
language & culture, prosody, intonation, and other topics too
numerous to mention here. International conferences to be held in
conjunction with the Institute include the Intenational Cognitive
Linguistics Conference, Society for Text and Discourse, International
Association for Linguistic Typology, and more. (See the web site listed
below.) It's not too late -- come and join us for a memorable and
stimulating summer!<br>

</font><font face="Garamond" size=3>"The Linguistic Society of
America's 2001 Institute will be held on the campus of the University of
California at Santa Barbara this summer. We are still accepting
applications and some housing options are available. The theme of the
Institute is 'Linguistic Diversity: How and Why Languages Differ' with a
special emphasis on Pacific Rim Languages. In addition to the core
linguistic courses, there will also be courses in language use, language
and culture, language acquisition, and literacy. In keeping with the
focus on linguistic diversity, there are courses delving into the special
complexities of several typologically different language families. There
will also be several sets of related courses which constitute
sub-institutes, organized around such topics as Minimalism,
Conversational Analysis, Teaching English as a Second Language, Chinese
corpus linguistics, Japanese linguistics, and Korean linguistics. In
addition, a rich selection of workshops and conferences, some small and
some large, will be held during the Institute<br>
