<BR>
I’m putting together a tentative conference schedule right now (it should be done this afternoon or tomorrow morning). As of now we don’t have a lot of presentations specifically for the Comparative Workshop, so I’ve just folded those in where they seem to fit (with a roundtable discussion about the project on Friday). In addition, we don’t have many language revitalization / pedagogical papers, so the few we have I have tried to group together on Saturday morning. In addition, a number of people won’t be here for all four days, so I am also trying to take that into account and lastly, I am still waiting on a possible last minute submissions. As of now we have 23 or 24 presentations.<BR>
<BR>
Your patience is greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
All the best,<BR>
<BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">I hate to ask a question that may have already been answered elsewhere, but do we know for sure what days will be devoted to the comparative grammar workshop and what days will be specifically for the conference proper? Linda and I are trying to coordinate her travel up to Chicago, but our dept'l budget is so slim on this line item that we can't send her to both the workshop and the conference. So we're shooting for just the conference dates only--and, yes, she plans on presenting a paper. I assume those dates will just be Friday and Saturday. Am I right about that?<BR>
