The Linguistic Society of St. Petersburg is an organization devoted to the advancement of knowledge on all fields of linguistics, which will be effected through a series of workshops and seminars and eventual publications. The founding meeting of the Society took place in St. Petersburg on 10 December 1996, at which time the Constitution was accepted by the membership. Article 3.1 of the Constitution reads, "Any citizen of the Russian Federation or other state, as well as a person withoun citizenship, concerned with scholarly activities, irrspective of his/her profession, job or position ... can be a member of the Society. For more information write to kleiner@yka.usr.pu.ru I have now included on my personal web page the bibliography of resources whiH I have collated so far. The present list only includes information sent to me from members of the linguist list, but will be updated with my own findings as my project progresses. A text-only version is also available at this site. Thankyou to everyone who wrote. Catherine Browning Monash University, Australia.

Apologies to those who submitted conference information which doesn't appear. While I have a tape back-up system, the kind souls also took the tapes... Anyway, we're back in business, and I hope that there aren't too many errors in the list. Please contact me with any corrections or additions. Regards Peter White peterw@lingua.cltr.uq.oz.au
