2009 SACC inquiry

Fri Mar 6 19:25:03 UTC 2009

Looks like least expensive is the concensus choice.  
The pricier downtown places are convenient, but Lincoln isn't that big a city -- it's easy to get to the University from anywhere.  
I'll have a car and can offer rides to several people.

I would prefer the least expensive accomodations.

I agree that the least expensive accomodations would be the best.  I can drive 
at least 4 passengers to campus providing that parking arrangements are provided 
near the conference.  I'm not good at walking long distances any more, I'm 
afraid.

I feel bad that David is stymied again this year.  Maybe we should try to hold 
one of our meetings in Boulder!  

I'm looking forward to the meeting.  Now all I have to do is write the paper(s).

Bob

Hi Mark,

not much has changed since my last mails via the Siouan List last year. The 
preliminary program for the CSGrammar workshop would look like the following:

CSG Program Thursday and Friday (Jun
e, 11-12)

Bruce Ingham
"Circumstantial stems" Determiners and positionals

Bob Rankin
Instrumentals

Johannes Helmbrecht
Causative constructions

Bob Rankin
Pre-verbal and post-verbal morphology (template of prefixes/suffixes/enclitics)

John Boyle
Indefinite absolutive *waa-

Iren Hartmann
Modality

David Rood
Serial verb constructions

Randy Graczyk
Switch reference and clause chaining

Catherine Rudin
Coordination (AND, BUT, OR) 

All
Roundtable: Publication perspectives for a CSG, ambitious goals, more moderate 
goals, a realistic time frame etc. 

If all announced papers will be delivered in Lincoln, we will have 9 papers à 30 
min, which can be done easily within one and a half day (including breakes 
etc.). I would like to reserve two hours at the end for a general debate how to 
proceed with our project of a CSG, since we need some clear ideas where to go 
with a clear schedule timewise. Otherwise, I fear the project will die slowly 
under the all day routine everyone of us is fighting with.

Further paper proposals are still welcome and can be integrated in the program. 
I think also to ask some people individually for a contribution. For instance, I 
could imagine that Ardis Eschenberg would perhaps like to participate (either in 
the workshop in Lincoln, or in the planned volumes) with a contribution on 
articles in Siouan?

Anyway, that's the state of the art from my point of view. 

With regard to the lodging question, since my budget will be restricted, I would 
prefer the cheap level of accommodation. I guess that some people will come by 
car, so that they may share the ride of the three miles distance with others.

All the best
Johannes

Aloha all, 

John and Johannes: How goes the CSGrammar workshop agenda for the SACC meeting 
in Lincoln? 

I am gathering lodging options information. 
I've received quotes ranging from $94-$109+tax double within walking distance of 
city campus, 
to $80+tax double driving a mile or so, 
to $52+tax double driving three miles. 

What would be your choice of lodging cost range? 

The high end, close to campus hotel includes20a full breakfast grill. Catherine, 
you stayed at the Embassy Suites last time you were in Lincoln, enit? 

Campus dorms are already booked for various youth summer camps. 

Does anyone want me to check on campground options? 

We can meet on campus in Anthro dept space that will accommodate our usual 
numbers of participants. The space has all of the instructional technology. 

I would like to circulate a call for papers by late Friday. 

My working agenda for the SACC looks like this: 

Wednesday early bird supper somewhere. 

Thursday-Friday CSG workshop organized by J&J with some plan for supper 
somewhere each night for those who want to continue the conversation. 

Saturday morning: mixed topic papers 

Saturday afternoon: Native language instruction workshop, round table, whatever 
(something similar to the presentations made by the Osage , NICC, and Hochank 
programs last year). 

Several Native language instruction programs are already on the SiouanList and 
are cordially invited to participate. 

I am thinking of extending invitations to the Nebraska Indian Community College 
program at Macy, the UmoNhoN Nation Public School UmoNhoN Language and Culture 
Profram at Macy, Little Priest College at Winnebago, and the Sinte Gleska 
program in South Dakota. 

Does anyone have other programs that may not be on the List? 

Saturday evening the Lincoln Indian Club is scheduled to host a social activit
y 
(maybe hand game and dance w/evening meal). I am the Public Relations Officeer 
for the club. I could ask the club to extend an invitation to the SACC folks. I 
would anticipate that everyone would be welcome to attend, and would be able to 
leave early if they wanted. The caveat is that I would have no way to nail down 
WHEN supper would be served. I expect the native attendees would go to the event 
and stay. An alternate idea would be to meet for supper somewhere, then 
individuals can decide to drop in on the club event later. 

Sunday morning: mixed topic papers 

Please forward suggestions as to where the call for papers should be sent. 

LSA 
SSILA 
Institutions? 
Programs? 
Other? 

Many thanks.
