Truly sorry. I'd like to see Canada again-- a new part for me. M From kdshea at falcon.cc.ukans.edu Thu Jan 21 23:28:41 1999 From: kdshea at falcon.cc.ukans.edu (SHEA KATHLEEN DORETTE) Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 17:28:41 -0600 (CST) Subject: Font Conversion (fwd) Message-ID: Hi, John! Thanks for the info, and, yes, the Siouan list messages are getting through to me. It's good to hear from you, and I'm sorry I'm so bad about replying or writing (to anyone). Best wishes, Kathy From rankin at lark.cc.ukans.edu Wed Jan 27 16:58:36 1999 From: rankin at lark.cc.ukans.edu (Robert L. Rankin) Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:58:36 -0600 (CST) Subject: Winnebago ethnobotany. Message-ID: I wanted to call your attention to a Siouan-related paper that has appeared in the journal _Economic Botany_ (something most of us wouldn't ordinarily see). It is: Kindscher, Kelly and Dana P. Hurlburt. (1998) "Huron Smith's Ethnobotany of the Hocak (Winnebago)", _Economic Botany_ 52(4):352-372. Huron Smith published ethnobotanies of several Wisconsin and other nearby tribes in the '20's and '30's. John Koontz found that there was an unpublished manuscript for Winnebago in the Milwaukee Public Museum. I was the one who called it to the attention of Kindscher et al. Smith included an extensive Winnebago plant vocabulary in his MS. Kindscher apparently took it to the Tribe in Wisconsin for modern spellings and translations. These are provided in the article by Kenneth Funmaker, Sr. and his staff. Unfortunately they omit both vowel length and accent from their transcription. Anyone interested in using the transcriptions as linguistic examples should probably go back to the manuscript and then to Ken Miner's Winnebago Field Lexicon rather than the published article. The ethnobotany itself is very well done. Bob From jpboyle at midway.uchicago.edu Thu Jan 28 15:43:01 1999 From: jpboyle at midway.uchicago.edu (John P. Boyle) Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:43:01 -0500 Subject: Chicago Linguistic Society Message-ID: I just wanted to remind everyone about the CLS conference in April (22-24). As you may have seen, one of our pannels is on language diversity. This pannel was conceived to look at "funny data" (i.e. languages more often than not ignored). As of now we have not recieved a lot of abstracts and I wanted to encourage you to either submit and abstract and/or to encourage students to submit abstracts. The deadline for abstract submission is Monday, Feb.1st and they can be e-mailed to the following address . Abstracts dealing with Native American (North, Central, and South), Austronesian, and African languages will be given preference over those dealing with Indo-European languages. Thanks and I hope to see some of you there. John P. Boyle jpboyle at midway.uchicago.edu Chicago Linguistic Society ---------------------------------------------------------------- A CALL FOR PAPERS April 22-24, 1999 University of Chicago Main Session: We invite original, unpublished work on any topic of general linguistic interest. Invited Speakers: Beth Levin (Northwestern University) Paul Smolensky (Johns Hopkins University) Panels: We invite original, unpublished work which addresses one of the panel topics below. Language, Identity, and the Other Thursday, April 22 Language serves as a means to unite as well as to exclude groups or individuals. This panel will explore the linguistic mechanisms by which this is accomplished in different speech communities. Invited Speakers: Robert Greenberg (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) Michael Silverstein (University of Chicago) In conjunction with the University of Chicago workshop on theory and data in speech research ChiPhon 99 New Syntheses: Multi-Disciplinary Approaches to Basic Units of Speech Friday, April 23 This panel seeks to synthesize findings from linguistics and other fields which investigate linguistic behavior, to determine whether these can be used as evidence for a unified theory of basic units of speech processing. Invited Speakers: John Ohala (University of California, Berkeley) Joesph Perkell (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Theory and Linguistic Diversity Saturday, April 24 Approximately five thousand languages are spoken throughout the world today. This panel seeks to explore the ways in which linguistic theories attempt to account for such variety. Invited Speakers: Mark Baker (Rutger University) Joan Bresnan (Stanford University) R.M.W. Dixon (University in Australia) Please submit ten copies of a one-page 500 word anonymous abstract for a twenty minute paper (optionally one additional page for data and/or references may be appended), along with a 3 by 5 card with: 1 your name 2 affiliation 3 address, phone number, and e-mail address 4 title of the paper 5 an indication for which panel or which particular subdivision of the main session (eg: phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, historical linguistics, etc.) the paper is intended. The abstract should be as specific as possible and it should clearly indicate the data covered, outline the arguments presented, and include any broader implications of the work. An individual may present at most one single and one co-authored paper. Authors must submit a camera-ready copy of the paper at the time of the conference in order to be considered for publication. Only a selection of papers presented at CLS 35 will be published. This years deadline for receipt of abstracts is February 1, 1999.
