MEDIEVAL SLAVIC SUMMER INSTITUTE
The Ohio State University
June 29-July 26, 2003

The Hilandar Research Library (HRL)/Resource Center for Medieval
Slavic Studies (RCMSS) and the Department of Slavic and East European
Languages and Literatures (DSEELL) at The Ohio State University will
host a four-week intensive Summer Institute for qualified graduate
students in Columbus, Ohio, June 29-July 26, 2003.  The Medieval
Slavic Summer Institute (MSSI) will offer: Practical Slavic
Palaeography (Slavic 870) and Readings in Church Slavonic (Slavic
812).  All lectures will be in English.  Manuscript material on
microform from the Hilandar Research Library's extensive holdings
forms a large part of the lectures and exercises.  Participants will
also have the opportunity to work with original manuscripts and to
conduct their own individualized research in the HRL.  Also planned
is a program of lectures on related topics and other activities.

Applicants must be graduate students with a B.A. degree and with a
reading knowledge of Cyrillic and of at least one Slavic language.
Preference will be given to applicants with reading knowledge of Old
Church Slavonic or some other pre-modern Slavic language.

The Hilandar Research Library, the largest repository of medieval
Slavic Cyrillic texts on microform in the world, includes the
holdings from over 100 monastic, private, museum, and library
collections of twenty-one countries.  There are over 5,000 Cyrillic
manuscripts on microform in the HRL (more than a million pages), as
well as over 700 Cyrillic early printed books from prior to 1800 on
microform (more than half a million pages).  The holdings range from
the eleventh to twentieth centuries, with a particularly strong
collection of manuscripts from the fourteenth to sixteenth
centuries.  About half of the manuscripts are East Slavic, with much
of the remainder South Slavic in provenience.

newsletter, Cyrillic Manuscript Heritage, on the HRL/RCMSS website

New discussion list on South American languages

'Etnolinguistica' is a new e-mail list which promotes the exchange of
ideas and information on lowland South American languages.  The list
also provides a forum for the presentation of papers and squibs on
indigenous South American languages and on general topics which may be
of particular interest to those dedicated to the study of indigenous
languages (including language endangerment, literacy projects,
documentation, field work issues, among others). To subscribe to the
list, please send an e-mail (with no subject and no text) to the
address etnolinguistica-subscribe at yahoogrupos.com.br.  To visit the
group's web page, please go to
http://br.groups.yahoo.com/group/etnolinguistica.  Portuguese is the
main language of the list, but contributions in other languages are,
naturally, very much welcome.

Computational Linguistics resulting in a Master's in Natural Sciences.
We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2003 semester
(applications deadlines: May 1 for international students, May 15 for US
students).
The curriculum consists of an equal number of computer science and
linguistics courses and a final project and typically takes four
semesters to complete.  The research interests of the faculty in the
curriculum are diverse and include speech recognition, grammar
development, parsing, statistical NLP, computational semantics, and
knowledge representation.
