Meeting Description:

The 2011 Linguistic Institute will take place July 7-August 2 on the
campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with major
sponsorship by the Linguistic Society of America and the University of
Colorado Department of Linguistics, Office of Continuing Education and
Professional Studies, College of Arts and Sciences and Graduate
School. Membership dues in the Linguistic Society of America help
underwrite the planning and implementation of the Institute, while
tax-deductible contributions may be directed to funds supporting
student fellowships or named professorships.

The theme of the 2011 Linguistic Institute is Language in the World.
The Institute focus will be on interdisciplinary, empirically based
approaches to language that acknowledge its dual nature, as both a
real-time interactional strategy and a product of interaction.
Institute students and affiliates will select from a slate of 80
courses on a wide variety of topics, including syntactic, semantic and
morphological theory, lexicography, dialectology, language
acquisition, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics,
sociolinguistics and fieldwork/language documentation. See:

https://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/courses.html for course listings.

Over 100 international scholars will teach at the 2011 Institute,
including three Institute Professors. See:

https://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/faculty-listings.html for faculty
biographies.

Early registration for students and affiliates is tentatively
scheduled for March 1-May 1. A future communication will describe the
procedure for online enrollment.

A limited number of fellowships, including several named fellowships,
are available on a competitive basis to students attending the 2011
Linguistic Institute. Fellowships generally cover only the cost of
tuition to attend the Institute (although the Bloch and McCawley
fellowships provide some additional support); fellowships do not cover
living expenses, travel expenses to and from the Institute, or visa
expenses for international students. To be awarded a fellowship,
students must enter the fellowship competition, which is administered
by the Linguistic Society of America (LSA); access to the online
fellowship application will be through LSA member login. Students must
be members of the LSA to apply for fellowships; non-members may apply
for membership at the time of application. A link to the online
fellowship application will be made available on the Institute
website, as well as the LSA website, once the competition opens.

The fellowship competition will open in the first half of January 2011
and close the first week of February. A sample of the fellowship
application will be posted in December. We anticipate that the LSA
will inform each applicant of the status of his or her fellowship
application in the second half of March 2011, in time for awardees to
meet the Institute's May 1 early registration deadline.
