Corpora: CULT 2K - Reminder and apologies

[cult2k]

WITH APOLOGIES FOR DUPLICATES

Dear colleague,
We have just realised that our web site did not agree well with Netscape
Navigator. We would like to inform you that everything has been fixed now
(hopefully...), and attach, as a reminder, a copy of the call for papers.

Looking forward to seeing you in Bertinoro.

Best regards

The organising committee.
