==========================================================================
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.

WORKSHOP on COMPARATIVE SLAVIC MORPHOSYNTAX
PROGRAM and PRACTICAL INFORMATION
McCormick's Creek State Park
Spenser, Indiana
5-7 June 1998
Indiana University and the U.S. Dept. of Education are pleased to sponsor
this workshop. Earlier this winter and spring five "position papers" were
published at our www site
<http://www.indiana.edu/~slavconf/linguistics/index.html>
The position papers aimed to summarize the state of knowledge on five
crucial topics within the general rubric of Comparative Slavic
Morphosyntax, and responses were solicited addressing these papers. The
Workshop brings together the authors of the position papers and the
respondants in an intimate, retreat-like setting. Non-respondants are
welcome to attend; see below for details. The position papers and responses
will be published by Slavica Publishers.

LOCATION
The Workshop will be held at McCormick's Creek State Park, near Spenser,
Indiana, about 15 miles west of Bloomington, Indiana (home of Indiana
University) along highway 46.
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
There is NO registration fee for the Workshop, but we ask that you inform
us in advance if you plan to attend, so that we can make appropriate
arrangements for the included meals (see below).
We will have a single large room, with classroom-style seating (tables
facing the front). We will have an overhead projector, so speakers may
prepare transparencies if they like, as well as an easel with poster-sized
paper to write on if you prefer. We recommend that you bring 40 handouts
with you if possible. Limited Xeroxing facilities are available for 10
cents/copy at the site, but it is better not to count on this.
AIR: You should fly in and out of Indianapolis. We will provide free
airport transportation if you communicate your arrival and departure
information in advance. As an emergency backup (in case of serious flight
delays or if your ride's car should break down and strand you at the
airport), there is reasonably priced shuttle service to Bloomington from
the Ground Transportation Center at the airport. We don't expect this to be
an issue, but just in case, the shuttle schedule is given below. If you are
not met as expected call the Slavica Publishers office at 1-812-856-4186 to
communicate your problem.
DRIVING: If you arrive by car from the north or east, exit I-465 (the
circle road around Indianapolis) onto highway 67 at the SW corner of the
city, and head south about 45 miles; turn south (left) only highway 231
about 10 miles north of Spenser, and at the first stoplight in Spenser (one
of only three!) turn left (east) onto highway 46. Go two miles, then turn
left into the park at a well-marked entrance. At the gate, state that your
are arriving for the Slavic Workshop, and they will admit you without the
$2 admission charge). The Canyon Inn is about 1 km into the park along the
main road, and it is well marked.
If you arrive from the south, take I-65 to highway 46 at Columbus, Indiana.
Exit west (left) and travel 50-60 miles through Bloomington to the park,
which will be on the right just before Spenser.
>>From the west, take I-70 towards Indianapolis, and exit onto highway 231.
Travel about 30 miles south to Spenser, then follow the directions above.
>>From Bloomington, Spenser is 15 miles to the west along highway 46 (drive
west on 17th St, which becomes 46 as it leaves Bloomington).
Email me if you require additional transportation information!
ACCOMMODATIONS
The workshop will be held at the Canyon Inn on the territory of McCormick's
Creek State Park. Two types of rooms are available:
1 double bed ($60/night)
2 single beds ($60/night as single, $30/person/night as double)
The rooms are small but quite nice, all with air conditioning, private
bath, color TV, and the usual furnishings.
We have contracted to pay the Inn directly for our block of rooms (thus
saving all taxes, since we are a tax-exempt organization!), and therefore
you should make reservations with us via email, fax, etc., and plan to pay
us for your room upon arrival at the Workshop. We prefer checks, if
possible, but will take cash happily and can take credit cards if there is
no other alternative (we will have to handle this through Slavica, as if
you were purchasing books instead of paying for the room).
The Canyon Inn has a swimming pool, and various outdoor recreation
facilities are available (hiking through the woods, horseback riding for a
fee, etc.), so pack accordingly if you plan to take advantage of these
opportunities during the Workshop! Expect hot and humid weather, with daily
temperatures reaching or exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
Overflow rooms are available at the Patriot Inn, about 1 km from the park
entrance. These rooms cost about $44 single plus $4-5 per additional person
in room. They are not as nice as the Canyon Inn rooms, and staying away
from the workshop diminishes the coziness of the Workshop experience, so we
will not use them unless we run out of space at the Canyon Inn (and this
does not appear to be a problem at the moment). If you have to stay there,
we will provide transportation to and from the conference site.
If you want to stay in Bloomington for a few days before or after the
workshop, we have blocked some rooms in Eigenmann Hall, a graduate
dormitory with single rooms, on-premises cafeteria, and within walking
distance of our library. Rooms cost about $28/day (food is not included),
and may be paid for by credit card, cash, or checks. You should request
these rooms through me in advance of the Workshop, specifying arrival and
departure dates.
FOOD
The conference will provide the following meals at no charge to
participants (if you are accompanied by a spouse or children, they are
welcome to join us but you must pay for their food; email me for details).
It is VERY important that I have an exact count BEFORE the conference, as I
must provide this information to the Canyon Inn, so please keep me informed
of your plans
Friday evening: outdoor picnic dinner (barbecue chicken
and ribs, various other dishes; vegetarians
can feast on salads etc.; indoors if it rains)
Saturday morning: coffee/juice/pastries/fruit at the conference
room
Saturday lunch: buffet with sandwiches, salads, beverages, etc.
Sunday morning: same as Saturday morning.
Saturday evening and Sunday lunch are NOT provided for. I figure many
people might want to go to a restaurant in Bloomington, but there is a
decent restaurant in the Canyon Inn as well, and one pleasant-looking
hilltop restaurant in Spenser as well.
