Meeting Description:

Tenses are traditionally presented as part of a stable temporo aspecto-modal
system where each fulfils specific and differentiated functions. 'Eppur si
muove': discursive practice shows a less constraint state of affairs and reveals
a 'dynamic synchrony'. 

The aims of the workshop will be to describe and to analyze the places where 
change is currently happening, and where discursive practices are likely to make
the verbal system evolve, as well as to evaluate the factors provoking changes.
In addition, it is hoped that the meeting will be the starting point of an
international reflection network on the issues covered.

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.
