LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN
Autumn Meeting 1999: University of York
Second Circular
The 1999 Autumn Meeting will be held from Tuesday 7 to Thursday 9 September
at the University of York, where the Association will be the guests of the
Department of Linguistics. The Local Organiser is Siobhan Cottell
(msc4 at york.ac.uk). Enquiries about the meeting should be addressed to:
Siobhan Cottell, LAGB 1999, Dept. of Language and Linguistic Science,
University of York, Heslington , York YO10 5DD.
Accommodation: The accommodation for conference participants is on the
campus of the University of York in Heslington. It will consist of single
rooms with hand-basin and shared bathroom facilities in Alcuin College,
very close to the Chemistry Building where the conference sessions take
place.
Registration: will begin at 10.00 am on Tuesday 7 September in the foyer of
Alcuin College.
Bar: a bar will be available every day during the conference.
Food: please indicate vegetarian and any other dietary requirements on the
booking form below.
Childcare: If you require childcare during the conference, please contact
the Local Organiser for further details.
Travel by train:
York is a major railway junction, with good connections from most cities in
Britain. You can buy a railway ticket at the station immediately before you
start your train journey, or by telephone +44 (0)345 225225. A seat
reservation often comes with the ticket if you request it. Trains take two
hours from London (King's Cross Station; trains leave every half hour
during the working day); two hours from Manchester Airport (trains leave
every hour at 20 past during the working day, every two hours during the
night); an hour and ten minutes from Hull.
by long-distance bus:
Long distance buses stop at Rougier Street close to the railway station
and/or at Exhibition Square in the centre of the city.
by air:
The easiest route is to fly to Manchester Airport, which has direct
connections to many European and North American cities. In Manchester, the
airport and the train station are in the same place, so you can easily walk
from the plane to the train. A return train ticket from Manchester Airport
to York costs about GBP 21.00.
You can fly to Leeds/Bradford Airport, which is about 30 miles from York.
Although there is a very regular train service between Leeds and York, you
must take a taxi from the airport to the train station - there is a bus
service, but it is very infrequent.
You can fly to Heathrow Airport, but it is a bit more difficult to get from
Heathrow to York. From Heathrow, take the Underground (Piccadilly Line) to
King's Cross Station, and then take the train from King's Cross to York.
The Underground trip takes about an hour, and the train trip takes about
two hours; overall travel time is therefore about three hours, plus time
for connections.
Getting to the University:
by taxi:
A journey by taxi from the railway station to the University will take
approximately 15 minutes and cost GBP 4.00-5.00. There is a taxi rank just
outside the station.
by bus:
The buses from York to the University are the Nos. 4 and 5 from the railway
station. The scheduled journey time from the railway station to Heslington
is 20 minutes. A single ticket costs about GBP1.00. Ask the driver to set
you down at the stop closest to the Morrell Library.
by car:
Visitors approaching York from the A64 should turn off at one of the exits
marked University, in order to avoid the City centre. Subsequent turns are
also signposted.
Visitors coming from other directions should either:
- take the Selby road to Fulford and turn along Heslington Lane or Broadway
to Heslington Hall
- take the Hull Road and turn right at the first traffic lights into Green
Dykes Lane which leads to University Road.
For further details see: http://www.york.ac.uk/np/maps/
Parking: free parking will be available for all delegates. Parking permits
which must be affixed to the windscreen will be sent out to those who
request them on the booking form.
Events: The Henry Sweet Lecture 1999 on the Tuesday evening will be
delivered by Professor Bernard Comrie (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig), and
is entitled 'The typology of reference tracking: form and function'.
There will also be a Workshop on reference tracking, organized by Professor
Anna Siewierska (University of Lancaster). Contributors are John Payne
(Manchester University), Yaron Matras (Manchester University), Machtelt
Bolkestein (University of Amsterdam), and Yan Huang (University of
Reading).
There will be a Language Tutorial on Lezgian, given by Professor Martin
Haspelmath (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig).
There will be a Wine Party on the Tuesday evening, following Professor
Comrie's talk, which is hosted by the department of Language and Linguistic
Science.
On Wednesday there will be a special session on Linguistics at School:
A-level English Language. Contributors are Michael Hoey (Liverpool) and
Tony Tinkel (Reading).
Bookings: should be sent to Cecile de Cat, Dept of Language and Linguistic
Science, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD. There is a 10%
