Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (Lomonosov Moscow State University) also known as OTIPL is 
celebrating its 50th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of its founder Vladimir A. Zvegintsev. 
The celebration is taking place on the 31st of October, at 15:00 in the First Building of Humanities of Moscow State University (Conference Hall), after the adjacent conference (see http://www.philol.msu.ru/~otipl/new/zvegin100 [in Russian]). Everybody is welcome.

A dedicated web site is being developed which will present historical and biographical data, alumni directory, personal memories and photos, (extra)linguistic fun, to be completed and co-authored by the community (see http://www.philol.msu.ru/~otipl/50let [in Russian]).

We would be happy if you decide to write a few words on the occasion to:
