[Lingtyp] Timing of ALT14

[Ljuba Veselinova]

Dear Typologists,

We are writing to inform you that the ALT Executive Committee, together
with the organizers of the next ALT meeting, have made a difficult decision
to postpone the ALT meeting scheduled for December 2021 until December
2022. Having concluded that it would likely be difficult to hold a December
2021 meeting in person, we weighed a number of factors (the pros and cons
of virtual meetings in particular), and came to the conclusion that
postponing for the year, while far from ideal, was better than having the
meeting virtually.

This decision was not made lightly. We imagine that not everyone will be
happy with it, but hope that you will accept the complexities involved when
there are so many unknowns.

The planned dates for ALT 14 are *December 15-17, 2022 at UT Austin, Texas*.
We will get back to you as regards ALT 15 after an updated conference cycle
has been discussed among the EC.

Best wishes,
Keren Rice, ALT President
Ljuba Veselinova, ALT Conference Manager
