  Yuen Ren Society
  for the Promotion of Chinese Dialect Fieldwork

  Annual Conference

  6 March 1999

	Submissions are now being accepted for a conference to be held on
Saturday, 6 March 1999, at Rutgers University in New Jersey.  The Society
welcomes presentations of a non-formalist character on any aspect of Hann
~ Chinese dialectology, including original field reports,
comparative-historical studies, linguistic geography and contact,
sociolinguistics, and taxonomy.  Presentations on any aspect of Chinese
dialects or their social context are welcome, but please note that the
Society favors presentations that include abundant evidence, in the form
of either dialect data or other explicit documentation as appropriate.
Papers may be delivered in English or Mandarin Chinese.

	To submit a paper, please send a detailed abstract to one of the
addresses below.  Preliminary deadline for submitting abstracts is:  15
November, 1998. We expect to accept only ten papers in all.

	The Yuen Ren Society is devoted to the practice of descriptive
dialect fieldwork, and especially welcomes reports on little-known
dialects.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Advances in Modal Logic is an initiative aimed at presenting an up-to-date
picture of the state of the art in modal logic and its many applications.
The initiative consists of a workshop series together with volumes based on
those workshops.  Advances in Modal Logic '98 is the second workshop
organized as part of this initiative.  AiML'98 will be held from October
16-18, 1998 in Uppsala, Sweden.  The workshop is intended for users of
modal logic in cognition, computing, and language, as well as for logicians
working in the area.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The invited speakers for AiML'98 are Johan van Benthem, Max J. Cresswell,
Kit Fine, Dov M. Gabbay, John F. Horty, Marcus Kracht, and Rohit Parikh.
During the workshop there will be a special morning session on modal logic
and belief revision; this session will be chaired by Sven Ove Hansson and
Sten Lindstrom.  In addition, there will be a tutorial on Explicit Modal
Logic by Sergei Artemov, as well as 16 contributed papers.  The complete
scientific program is available at
