(Fwd) ELL: ELF Request for Proposals, 2002

Wed Dec 19 19:33:13 UTC 2001

Dear Uralists,

please note the following announcement (below): grants for language maintenance and linguistic fieldwork are available again. As those who visit the ELF site can see, the same fund is currently supporting, among many others, Maria Lublinskaya's project on Nganasan.

Wishing good luck for those who apply for these grants, and all the best for all of us - regardless of religion, nationality etc. ;-) - in the approaching holidays,

Johanna
