NEH Fellowships, 1999-2000
Deadline: May 1, 1998
The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the 1999-2000
competition for NEH fellowships. These fellowships provide
opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced research in the
humanities. Applicants may be faculty members of colleges and
universities, staff members of colleges and universities, or faculty
and staff members of primary and secondary schools. Scholars and
writers working independently or in institutions such as museums,
libraries, and historical associations or in institutions with no
connection to the humanities also are eligible to apply.
Projects supported by NEH Fellowships may contribute to scholarly
knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities.
Such work might eventually produce scholarly articles, a monograph on
a specialized subject, a book-length treatment of a broad topic, an
archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, or an other
scholarly tool.
Citizenship: Applicants should be U.S. citizens, native residents of
U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been legal residents
in the U.S. or its jurisdictions for at least three years immediately
preceding the application deadline.
Eligibility: Scholars affiliated with institutions granting the
Ph.D.in the subject area of the project should apply to the
Fellowships for University Teachers Program. Scholars affiliated with
institutions not granting the Ph.D. in the subject area of the
project, scholars affiliated with other types of organizations, and
independent scholars should apply to the Fellowships for College
Teachers and Independent Scholars Program. Applicants whose
professional training includes a degree program must have received
their degrees or completed all official requirements for them by the
application deadline. Persons seeking support for work leading toward
a degree are not eligible to apply, nor are active candidates for
degrees. Further information on the two programs is available in the
printed guidelines.
Stipends and Tenure: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted period of from
six to twelve whole months. The earliest date that fellows may begin
tenure is January 1, 1999, and the latest is the start of the spring
term of the 1999-2000 academic year, or April 1, 2000 for those who
are not teachers. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least
one complete term of the academic year.
A stipend of $30,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for
a grant period of from nine to twelve months. A stipend of $24,000
will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of
from six to eight months.
Submission of Applications: All applications must be postmarked on or
before May 1, 1998. Please note that the Endowment does not accept
applications submitted by fax or e-mail. Applicants will be notified
of the decisions on their applications by mid-December 1998.

Subject: 5th Central European Summer School
5th Central European
Summer School in Generative Grammar
Debrecen - Hungary
3 - 21 August 1998
Under the auspices of GLEE (Generative Linguistics
in Eastern Europe) and GLOW
A generative grammar summer school which is:
. high level (teachers from leading research centres)
. intensive (3 weeks of interactive learning and research)
. very inexpensive (no fees at all, very low local living costs)
. charming (a university town with an exciting history and a
peaceful campus in the middle of a small forest)
The summer school offers intensive discussions of generative
linguistics. It will feature syntax, phonology, psycho-linguistics and
semantics; in each case debating the results of the latest research,
current issues and open problems. This will take the form of:
-about 20 advanced seminars focussing on current research issues.
-a general introduction to generative linguistics as well as a core
set of introductory overviews for each subdomain
The school is open to students and scholars from all over the world -
East and West alike: it is cheap enough for everybody to attend, and
it also includes discussion of Germanic, Romance and Slavic
languages. Care has been taken to make it particularly suited to
Eastern European participants. Classes will be taught in English.

From: Trond Trosterud <Trond.Trosterud at hum.uit.no>
Subject: Announcement: Soviet ethnicity and lg prof data available online
I am glad to announce that I now have made the
Soviet Language and Ethnicity Censuses
available on the net:
http://www2.isl.uit.no/trond/isam.html
The site contains ethnic affiliation, 1st and 2nd language proficiency
for all Soviet citicens in 1939, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1989. The 1979 data
contain regional information for some republics. The site contains
assimilation data estimated by the socalled Silver formula.
The original censuses contain much more data than I can provide
(cross-referenced to age, region, rural/urban), but at least I give
you the main data for each language.
I hope that this will stimulate the research on language retention and
shift in general and on the situation in the former Soviet Union in
special. I will encourage you to read my introductory remarks before
using the data, cf. http://www2.isl.uit.no/trond/sintr.html. The intro
also contains the original references, so that you can go there and
find the data missing from my site.
Greetings,
