Celtling, The Celtic Ling Conf, and a new book.

[Andrew Carnie]

Hi All,

Well its been a long time since there has been a message on Celtling.
Partially this has been my fault since I've been thesis-involved. However,
it would be nice to get the ball rolling again. Any hot controversies out
there?

On a totally different note, I just got back from Ireland where I attended
the Celtic Linguistics Conference organized by Paolo Aquaviva and Ma/ire
Ni/ Chiosa/in. As I'm sure others who attended will agree, it was an
excellent conference all the talks were riviting, I hardly got outside
to see the great Irish sunshine (I'm not being sarcastic, it was *very*
sunny), the whole time. Big thanks to Paolo and Maire and all the participants.

WRT to the conference, I would like to remind all the participants that
I'd be happy to put electrontic versions of their papers in the Celtling
FTP site. If you don't know how to do this, send me a note and I'll tell
you how. Its not very difficult. Putting your paper on an FTP site
does not constitute publishing by the way, it is just a simple way of
distributing your papers to people.

Also Paolo made a plea at conference for people with too much time on
their hands to consider organizing CLC2. Any volunteers??

Finally, I have an announcement to make about a new book that might be
of interest to Celtlign Subscribers. Janet Grijzenhout's thesis
_Irish Consonant Mutation and Phonological Theory_ is now available
from the following address: OTS, Utrecht University, Trans 10, 3512 JK Utrecht
The Netherlands. I"m sorry I don't know how much it costs (Janet, could
you tell us???).

Best for now and please post!
