<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to announce that the deadline for the Language, Interaction and Social Organization (LISO) conference has been extended to 31st January. Again, our conference will feature a plenary presentation by Dr Shannon Ward, so it will be particularly
excited to see more work done with languages of the Tibeto-Burman area. I have added the second call below.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
