THE LANGUAGE LEARNING DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM 1999-2000

This program is designed to enable university departments, representing
the broadly defined area of applied linguistics, to host a distinguished
scholar of their choosing for a week on their campuses. The Resident
Scholar might give a series of lectures or a workshop and interact with
students and faculty in any way the host and guests see fit. Several
awards are offered for 1999-2000.  Each award carries a stipend of up to
$3,000.00. The stipend is intended to cover travel and per diem expenses,
including an honorarium of $1,000.00 for the Resident Scholar.
Applications by academic institutions worldwide are invited.

Applications should be addressed to the undersigned and reach the business
office of Language Learning no later than 1 March 1999. Envelopes should
be clearly marked on the outside "Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence
Program." Applications should include a description of the host
department, the proposed program for the week-in-residence, curriculum
vitae of the prospective Resident Scholar, a written acceptance by the
candidate, and a budget. The application should be signed by the
Chairperson of the host department or similar university authority. The
Board of Directors will notify applicants of the awards in June 1999. The
names of Language Learning Distinguished Scholars-in-Residence for
1999-2000 together with the names of the host institutions will be
published in the September 1999 issue of the journal.

Members of the Board of Language Learning may not apply and are not
eligible for the award.

            * NEW DOCTORAL PROGRAM IN LINGUISTICS *
           * AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT SUPPORT *
      * OFFERED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON*

The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) announces the availability
of four supported doctoral positions for new students entering the UTA
Ph.D. program in Linguistics in Spring 1999.

The Ph.D. in Linguistics at UTA, among the newest doctoral programs
in linguistics available in the United States, provides students with
education and training in a range of specializations, including
discourse analysis and text linguistics, sociolinguistics, semantics
and translation, and literacy.  Special attention is given to the role
of field work in linguistic studies, including the study and
documentation of lesser-studied languages. Training is also provided
in the application of computing methods to linguistic analysis.

Supported doctoral positions will be awarded on a competitive basis
to new students accepted into the program on or before January 12,
1999.  Support will likely take the form of research assistantships
(no teaching required) involving contributing to the research
activities of the Program in Linguistics according to the program's
needs and students' background, interests, and skills.  Successful
candidates will be guaranteed support for the spring semester, and
be eligible for continuing support in subsequent academic years.

In addition to the new Ph.D., the Lingusitics Program at UTA continues to
offer an M.A. in Linguistics as well a 19-hour Graduate Certificate in
TESOL.

For further information about graduate study in linguistics at UTA
or to request an application for admission and support to the
doctoral program, contact the Linguistics Graduate Advisor, Dr.
Irwin Feigenbaum, at irwin at ling.uta.edu or (817) 272-3133.
Information on degree requirements, faculty, and course offerings
is available on the UTA Linguistics web site at http://ling.uta.edu.

The University of Texas at Arlington, the second-largest campus in
the University of Texas System, is located in the center of the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a major urban and cultural area in
the United States.  Information about the University of Texas at
Arlington is available at http://www.uta.edu.
