We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue.  Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions.  Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text.  Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them.   Thank you for your cooperation.

Subject:  Mini workshop on split constituents

The syntax project of the Innovationskolleg "Formal Models
of Cognitive Complexity" wants to organize a mini-workshop
on split constituents such as (1) or (2) some time in
fall 1997.

(1)     interessante Buecher hat sie keine teuren gelesen
        interesting books has she no expensive read
        "she didn't read any expensive interesting books"
        [German]
(2)     na kakav je Ivan krov bacio loptu
        on what-kind-of was Ivan roof threw ball
        "on what kind of roof did he throw a ball"
        [Croatian]

If you are working on this kind of construction (
the language does not matter)and if you would like
to come to such a mini-workshop, please let us know...
