[Howard I. Aronson]

The Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures and the Department of
Linguistics of the University of Chicago announce the Tenth International
NSL Conference (Non-Slavic Languages Conference, formerly the Conference on
the Non-Slavic Languages of the USSR), which will take place at the
University of Chicago, Thursday-Saturday, 8-10 May 1997. We solicit papers
dealing with any linguistic aspects of non-Slavic languages presently or
historically spoken on the territories of the successor states to USSR,
i.e., the Baltic republics and the member republics of the Commonwealth of
Independent States. 30 minutes will be allotted for presentation and
discussion of each paper. Papers must be presented in English. Funding
permitting, we hope to publish papers presented at the Conference. Those
interested in participating should sent a one-page abstract of their
proposed paper to one of the addresses below. Faculty members are
particularly requested to encourage graduate students to submit abstracts.
Please send a copy of your abstract on a floppy disk (preferably 3.5" (90
mm.)) or, ideally, submit your abstract by e-mail. The deadline for receipt
of abstracts is 1 October 1996. You will be notified if your paper has been
accepted for presentation by 1 November 1996. As in past years, the
Conference will be followed by the Conference on the Cultures of Caucasia
on Saturday and Sunday, 10-11 May 1997.
