Meeting Description: 

Formal Studies in Syntax and Semantics of Indian Languages (FOSSSIL) 
announces the 5th LISSIM to take place in Kangra, May 25-June 8, 2011, 
surrounded by the Dhaula Dhar range of Himalayan mountains. The 
Summer School venue is ideal for communal living and learning, devoid of 
the usual distractions of a city, town or even a touristy hill station.

The theme for the 5th LISSIM is 'Nanosyntax'

The teaching faculty will consist of the following established experts in 
formal linguistics topics
KA Jayaseelan, English and Foreign Language University, Hyderabad
Zeljko Boskovic, University of Connecticut
Norvin Richards, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Michal Starke, CASTL, Tromso

Given popularity of the School, the admission to the School is likely to be 
highly competitive and since the number of student participants is limited to 
25, prospective participants are therefore requested to apply as soon as 
possible. Students from India are requested to apply for membership to 
FOSSSIL by writing an email of intention to secretary at fosssil.in. All 
prospective students for the School are requested to send an email to the 
same address with the following information latest by 1st April, 2011:
Name:
Email:
Affiliation:
Qualification in Linguistics:
PhD/ Research Topic:
Reason for Participating in LISSIM: (max 500 words)

The first list of participants will be declared by 15th April and interviews by 
video conferencing or in person in Delhi will be conducted 16-17th April. 
The final list of selected participants will be made available during the week 
of April 18th.

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!
