Linguistic Institute offerings

[Georgia Green]

As you may know, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)
is hosting the 1999 Linguistic Institute, co-sponsored by the LSA.
The Institute will be in Urbana this summer from June 21 - July 30.
I hope you will encourage your students (including undergrads!) and
colleagues to make plans to attend.

One highlight will be two courses on the conceptual foundations of
linguistics, by

   Ray Jackendoff	The architecture of the language faculty
   James McCawley	Linguistics and the philosophy of science

Jerry Sadock will teach the course that Bob Lees taught at the 1968 Institute
in Urbana: Intro to General Linguistics.

Of perhaps particular interest, an incomplete list of courses in areas in which
you and I share interests includes many in:

 Computational Linguistics, taught by
   Erhard Hinrichs	grammar development
   Jerry Morgan 	user interfaces
   Jeff Elman 		connectionist models
   Mike Barlow 		corpus investigation
   Ann Copestake 	lexicon

    plus a Symposium on Computational Linguistics on 7/7
