Meeting Description:

10th International Columbia School Conference 
on the Interaction of Linguistic Form and Meaning with Human Behavior 

Conference Theme:  Grammatical Analysis and the Discovery of Meaning

Invited Speakers:
Flora Klein-Andreu (Stony Brook University)
Andrea Tyler (Georgetown University) 

Call for Papers

Papers are invited which propose language-specific analyses of natural 
discourse data within any framework in which languages are viewed as semiotic
systems.  Particularly encouraged are submissions that advance semantic
hypotheses to account for the distribution of linguistic form.

The Columbia School is a group of linguists developing the theoretical 
framework originally established by the late William Diver.  Language is seen 
as a symbolic tool whose structure is shaped both by its communicative function
and by the characteristics of its human users.  Grammatical analyses account for
the distribution of linguistic forms as an interaction between linguistic
meaning and pragmatic and functional factors such as inference, ease of
processing, and iconicity.  Phonological analyses explain the syntagmatic and
paradigmatic distribution of phonological units within signals, also drawing on
both communicative function and human physiological and psychological
characteristics. See bibliography at web site.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
