krysia.uni.lodz.pl>PALC 2001 (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN LANGUAGE CORPORA) (Department of English Language, Lodz University) AIMS The Department of English Language at Lodz University plans to hold the 3rd international conference devoted to PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN LANGUAGE CORPORA. The general topic of the conference is the relationship between language corpora and their uses in a range of language and linguistic fields. Our aim is to provide a forum for practical exemplifications of language corpora (written and spoken) in action and a forum for fruitful interaction between scholars. Hopefully, such a conference will act as a stimulus to teaching, and to scholarly and critical research.

We expect approximately 120 participants from Poland and Central Europe, Western Europe and other parts of the world.

mail.utexas.edu>2001 Texas Linguistic Society Conference The Role of Agreement in Natural Language March 2-4 University of Texas at Austin TLS 2001 Call for Papers The role of agreement in natural language is an issue of current interest and debate in many subfields of linguistics including morphology, syntax, semantics, and language acquisition, and poses a number of empirical and theoretical problems for all frameworks of linguistic theory. The aim of this conference will be to share research findings and proposals on the role of agreement in relation to a number of current issues in these areas and interface issues between these areas including the role of agreement in morphology and the lexicon, the problem of "dis-agreement" effects, the role of agreement in the theory of clause structure and Universal Grammar, the role of agreement in semantic interpretation, and the role of agreement in language acquisition in relation to these areas. We invite abstracts on original, unpublished work in any of these areas as they relate to the role of agreement in natural language. Invited Keynote Speakers Hilda Koopman, UCLA The Locality of Agreement Margeret Speas, UMASS Functional Categories and the Syntax-Pragmatics Interface Sandy Chung, UC-Santa Cruz The Two Faces of Agreement Abstracts Please submit ten copies of a one-page, 500-word, anonymous abstract for a twenty minute paper (optionally, one additional page for data and/or references may be appended), along with a 3" by 5" card with: 1) your name, 2) your affiliation, 3) your address, phone number, and e-mail address, 4) the title of the paper, and 5) an indication of which subfield of linguistics best describes the topic (e.g., Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Language Acquisition, etc.) Abstract Submissions By regular mail Please send abstracts to: TLS 2001 Abstract Committee 501 Calhoun The University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 78712 By e-mail E-mail abstracts will also be accepted.
