***PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DEADLINE***
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LINGUISTICS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
(12 - 14 JANUARY 2000)
'LINGUISTICS AT THE MILLENNIUM IN SOUTHERN AFRICA'
Hosted by
Department of Linguistics and Southern African Languages
(University of Cape Town)
in conjunction with the Linguistics Society
of Southern Africa (LSSA)
Aims of the conference
* Leading scholars review the state of their
subdisciplines
* Focus on linguistic research in southern Africa in the
new millennium
* Continuing to build up long-term contacts between
scholars from southern Africa, the rest of Africa
and abroad.
* Encouraging young scholars at a time when language
studies are under threat at tertiary institutions
in South Africa
* Focus on under-researched areas such as Khoe-San
linguistics and African sociolinguistics
Typical areas of concern to southern African linguists
* Developments in linguistic theory
* Structure of Khoe-San languages
* Classification of Khoe-San languages
* Structure of Bantu languages
* Sociolinguistics of Bantu languages
* Status & structure of Afrikaans
* Contact between African languages
* New varieties of English / Portuguese etc.
* Accent diversity in English
* Language endangerment and loss
* Multilingualism and linguistic theory
* Linguistics and Applied Linguistics
* Sign language research
* Historical linguistics and African languages
* Second language acquisition theory
* Heritage languages in Southern Africa
* Psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics and language
development
* The social history of Afrikaans, English, and
African languages
Other themes related to education and development are
welcome. In view of the activities of organisations such
as the Southern African Applied Linguistics Association
and many forums for language policy and planning, and of
the theme of the recent 1999 Linguistics Conference
('Putting Linguistics into Practice') the focus of the
2000 conference will be on Linguistics per se.
Workshops envisaged
* Khoe-San linguistics and applied linguistics
* Trends in African Linguistics
* Afrikaans socio-historical linguistics
* Applied Linguistics and language teaching
* Variation in Southern African English
* Multilingualism at the millennium
* Code-switching at the millennium
* Black South African English
KEYNOTE AND FOCUS SPEAKERS (to be confirmed, pending
funding applications): William Labov, Salikoko Mufwene,
Deborah Cameron, Ayo Bamgbose, Peter Trudgill, Rajendra
Singh, Liliane Haegeman, John R Edwards, RK Herbert, and
other distinguished speakers.
CAPE TOWN ATTRACTIONS:
(do stay for the weekend or week after the conference)
* Conference held at foot of mountain near two oceans
* See the sun set over the Atlantic from the top of Table
Mountain
* Pleasant warm mid-summer coastal temperatures
* Assistance with tours to Robben Island, Wine Route,
city and township
* Visiting partners programme during the day
* Favourable exchange rates
ABSTRACTS: Due 29 October 1999. Send 200 word abstract to
the Conference Secretary (preferably by e-mail).

Subject: The 2000 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
The 2000 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
(GECCO-2000) will be held July 8-12, 2000 (Saturday to Wednesday)
in Las Vegas, Nevada. GECCO-2000 picks up where GECCO-99 left off
by promising to be the largest, high quality Genetic and Evolutionary
Conference to be held in the year 2000. In 1999, GECCO attracted 619
researchers from all areas of the field of genetic and evolutionary
computation with outstanding tutorials given by the best names
in the field, plus extremely well-attended workshops in new and
developing areas on the cutting edge, and 235 quality papers.
(53.5% of submitted papers were accepted in 1999; the acceptance
rate will be less than 50% in 2000).
We expect a similarly engaged, focused, and high quality gathering
in Las Vegas. We want to encourage the submission of the best work
in the field. Plan on attending the second edition of the premier
conference in the growing field of genetic and evolutionary computation.
