A conference on languages in contact will be held on November
25-26, 1999, at the University of Groningen. This conference will
include sessions devoted to descriptive and theoretical aspects of
language contact.

The aim of this conference is to discuss language contact. Issues

extralinguistic correlates of variety in contact situations,
problems of endangered languages and the typology of these
languages.

We have also expanded the program to include a TUTORIAL on

held on Wed. Nov. 24 from 2-6 (with two one-half hour breaks).

The conference will be held on the occasion of the degree of
