You are invited to the Slavic Linguistics Society conference

[Laura Janda]

Dear Colleagues,
 	I am writing to invite everyone interested in the linguistics of Slavic 
languages to the conference of the Slavic Linguistics Society to be held 
September 8-10, 2006 on the campus of Indiana University. Full details about 
the conference are given below and can also be accessed at 
<http://www.unc.edu/~lajanda/sls2006.html>.
 	Here are the answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about this 
conference:
 	*Are submissions from all theoretical frameworks welcome?
 	-- YES! We are eager to see functionalists and formalists engaging 
together at this conference, and we want to be as inclusive as possible.
 	*Are there any other restrictions on submissions?
 	-- We would prefer to see papers that deal directly and primarily with 
linguistic phenomena of the Slavic languages, but there are no other 
restrictions.
 	*Are submissions from scholars outside the US welcome?
 	-- YES indeed! We are eager to nurture dialog among our colleagues 
across all borders, both theoretical and geo-political.
 	Further questions may be addressed to the organizers at 
sls2006 at unc.edu.
 	We will look forward to receiving your submissions and to seeing you in 
Bloomington in September.
 	Best wishes,
 	--laura janda
