We are pleased to announce the 2nd Subtropical Summer Syntax Workshop,

mid-summer regional workshop, organized by Marlyse Baptista (U GA)
and myself,  will consist of twelve presentations and discussion of these
over two days.  The workshop will run from noon until 5 pm on Friday,
July 21, and from 10 am until 6 pm on Saturday, July 22.

Below, you will find a list of presenters and paper titles.

There is no registration fee and all workshop presentations and
activities are open to the public.  However, if you plan to attend
any or all sessions, please let the organizers, myself (dubinsky at sc.edu)
or Marlyse Baptista (baptista at arches.uga.edu), know that you are coming,
so that we may plan to have enough handouts.

Sincerely,
