For you students and scholars of Chinook Jargon and neighboring languages, the following may be of interest. For example, there will be two papers presented which will deal with the Alsea language of Oregon. Also, some scholars who have worked on CJ will be attending and presenting their work. This is excerpted from SSILA electronic bulletin # 148, with acknowledgments and thanks. -- Dave
