Conference on Language Contact etc.

[David Robertson]

LaXayEm!

To give you an idea of what some of our list members are involved in,
below is an announcement for a conference Sally's helping put together.

This is also to let you scholars of ChInuk know of an opportunity to
present your work.

Also, this may illustrate the level of interest in language that occurs in
situations like the one that gave rise to ChInuk.

Happy reading,
Dave
