other theories. It's at:

Montreal, 14 August 2002
ALBERT VALDMAN AND FRANKÉTIENNE:
HONORED INVITEES TO MONTREAL'S CREOLE LANGUAGE MONTH
5 October 2002, which is the inauguration date of Montreal's Creole
Language Month, will be a great day for all Creolists. Professor
ALBERT VALDMAN, Director of the Creole Institute at Indiana
University, International Vice-President of Études Créoles, and
world-renowned linguist, has accepted KIPKAA's invitation to be the
featured speaker for this inaugural event. This conference will focus
on Haitian Creole, that is to say: its history, its linguistic
aspects, its Siamese-twin relationship to Creole languages in the West
Indies and Indian Ocean, and its place within the educational system
and literacy programs of Haiti.
However, 26 October will be a day unlike any other in the history of
Creole celebrations in Montreal. Professor FRANKÉTIENNE, author of
«DEZAFI» (the first novel in Creole literature), artist, poet,
dramatist, and world-renowned author of 37 books (among them,
«PÈLENTÈT») has accepted to honor the Creolophone community in
Montreal by his presence and participation in the final large
conference to be scheduled in this year's Creole Month Calendar. The
title for this conference (spectacular event) is: The Importance of
Creole Theater in Haiti. A Look at the Theater of Frankétienne.
There will be many other programs, events and cultural activities,
such as dramatic and comedy sketches, poetry recitals, special music,
painting and book expositions, a book signing by Frankétienne,
etc. All of these wonderful activities will be organized by KIPKAA, in
collaboration with the Department of Linguistics and Translation of
the University of Montreal. All are welcome, no matter where you live
on the planet!
