Meeting Description: 

The members of the Leipzig Valency Classes project 
(http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/valency/index.php) are currently carrying out 
a large-scale cross-linguistic comparison of valency classes. To make 
progress in the cross-linguistic study of valency classes, we have 
assembled a group of contributors/language experts, who are collaborating 
on providing consistent sets of cross-linguistic data. To bring all of these 
experts together for a meeting we are organizing a big Conference on 
Valency Classes in the World's Languages.  In case you're wondering 
whether you've missed a call for papers: you have not. All our presenters 
have been especially invited by us. We think that this conference might be 
of interest to some of you and it will be open to the public, so if you wish to 
attend it you are welcome to do so. The conference program can be found 
on our website: 
http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/valency/files/events/2011_conf_on_valency_cl
asses.php

The conference will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary 
Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany on April 15-17th 2011.

There is no registration fee in the strict sense, however, if you wish to eat 
lunch with us, you will be charged a small fee for this (to be payable upon 
arrival). The exact amount remains yet to be calculated, but it should be 
around 15 EUR per person for the two lunches (Friday & Saturday). We are 
also organizing a city walking tour on Sunday after the conference, if you 
would like to join us for this you can do so (this will cost between 6 and 10 
EUR per person, depending on how many people will participate.)

If you would like to attend our conference, please send an e-mail to 
iren_hartmann(at)eva.mpg.de and cschmidt(at)eva.mpg.de before March 
31st, providing us with the following information :

- your name
- your affiliation
- whether you would like to eat lunch with us on Friday and Saturday. (Yes / 
No)
- whether you would like to join us for the city walking tour on Sunday. (Yes 
/ No)

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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
