1. David Adger, Peripheral Positions Conference

Peripheral Positions Conference

A reminder that, immediately after the Linguistics Association of
Great Britain (LAGB) conference in Durham (7-9th September, 2000), the
University of York will host a conference on Peripheral
Positions. Full details can be found at the conference website

http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~lang7

The conference will kick off with a Plenary Lecture by
Jim McCloskey on the evening of Saturday 9th September, followed by a
wine reception. Our other plenaries are to be given by Liliane
Haegeman, Caroline Heycock/Dora Alexopoulou, Mamoru Saito, and Ianthi
Tsimpli. Full details of the programme can be found on the
website.

Travel from Durham to York is just over an hour by
car, and about 45 minutes by train. Details of travel from other
destinations can be found on the website. Registration will be 40
pounds sterling and 20 pounds for students and unwaged colleagues. The
web-site has further details of accommodation, and limited crash-space
is available for students (contact lang7york.ac.uk).

The organising committee would like to thank the LAGB and the British
Academy for funding towards the costs of the conference.
