==========================================================================
Please keep your conference announcement as short as you can; LINGUIST
will not post conference announcements which in our opinion are
excessively long. Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:

For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement. Thank you for your cooperation.

Conferences on Fresh Dialect Fieldwork
Conference Announcement
_________________________________________________________________
The Annual Conference of the The Yuen Ren Society will be held at the
University of Washington in Seattle on 7-8 February, 1998. Please
contact yuen.ren.society at bigfoot.com for more information, or use the
regular mailing address below.
The loose theme this year is features defined comparatively across
various Chinese dialects. Abstracts will be posted before the end of
January, 1998.
The Yuen Ren Society for the Promotion of Chinese Dialect Fieldwork is
dedicated to the study of diverse varieties of spoken Hann Chinese,
with strong emphasis on descriptive fieldwork. It is the only academic
organization of its kind in the world. The Society was founded in 1990
at the University of Washington and is named after Yuen Ren Chao, a
pioneer in descriptive Chinese linguistics. The Society's meetings are
an occasional forum for distributing and discussing fresh dialect
data. YRS meetings are typically small and rather cozy, and speakers
are allowed at least 30 minutes per presentation. Our format is more
flexible than most of other regular Chinese linguistics conferences,
and we have a much narrower focus - we insist that all presentations
be supported by abundant data. Each year a number of our presentations
are usually devoted to reports on dialects that are poorly known.
