mail.psyc.memphis.edu>Dear member, We would like to announce the availability of the program for the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Society for Text and Discourse at http://www.psyc.memphis.edu/ST&;D/2001/STD2001program.html . It will be held in conjunction with the Linguistics Summer Institute on the campus of the University of California Santa Barbara. We have a diverse and world-class set of invited speakers. Brian MacWhinney, David Barton, and Charles Li. New this year are two panel discussions. One is a "futures" panel and the three panelists, David Bloome, Wallace Chafe, and Morton Gernsbacher, will provide perspectives on what lies ahead for discourse studies. The topic of the second is the recently completed Rand Reading Study Group Report. Discussants are Anne Sweet, Art Graesser, and Michael Kamil, all of whom were on the committee that drafted the report. For additional information and for the complete list of papers and posters please refer to the online program. For details on registration, accommodations, travel arrangements, and membership in the Society, please refer to the Call for Proposals http://www.psyc.memphis.edu/ST&;D/call.html . The meeting begins with a reception on Thursday evening, July 12th; Invited presentations, paper sessions and poster sessions occur on Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14. Preregistration for the conference will help us estimate size of the group so if you can do so, we would appreciate it. Some procedural things to note: 1. Rooms at the conference hotel are being held only through the middle of June. 2. To save on postage costs, we have decided not to surface mail the program this year. We will have hard copies at the conference. We hope you can join us in Santa Barbara. Sincerely, Susan Goldman Chair of the Governing Board ________________________________________ email: st_dMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
