ANNOUNCEMENT:
	We invite you to submit an abstract to the first meeting of the Slavic 
Linguistics Society on the campus of Indiana University, September 8-10, 
2006.

Keynote speakers are:

Östen Dahl (Stockholm University)
Ronald Feldstein (Indiana University)
Barbara Partee (University of Massachusetts at Amherst)

The goal is to create a conference that will support our field by being as 
inclusive as possible. Papers dealing with any aspect of Slavic linguistics 
and within any framework are appropriate, as well as those that represent 
cross-disciplinary approaches (sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, 
language acquisition, etc.). The only restriction is that all papers should 
address an issue pertaining to Slavic linguistics. All talks will be for 20 
minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion.

This is an historic event, at which future directions for the Slavic 
Linguistics Society will be resolved. We encourage all to participate and 
ask you to share this announcement with as many colleagues and students as 
possible.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: April 15, 2006
