Meeting Description:

The 28th Annual Conference of the Societ� Italiana di Glottologia
(SIG) will take place at the University for Foreigners of Perugia,
Italy, on 23rd-24th-25th October 2003. The conference will focus on
the main and more recent developments of linguistic research in both
acquisition and change of linguistic categories. Especially we
consider the methodological similarity and intersection between these
two research fields. This topic will be developed from different
perspectives by invited speakers. A special poster session will be
dedicated to post-graduates, who have been carrying out or have just
finished researches either on acquisition or change of linguistic
categories, to present their research, exchange their ideas and
discuss their future research projects. A maximum of 20 posters will
be selected, representing these two main research fields in a balanced
way, i.e. language acquisition and diachronic analysis of linguistic
categories. We welcome submissions from all postgraduates in any area
of linguistics, who have interest in language acquisition and/or
language change. Please see the 'Guidelines for Submission' below.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Il Calamo
Publishing Co, Rome. The posters will be inserted in the conference
proceedings in the form of abstracts.

3th Circular 

Dear colleagues,

We would like to inform You via this circular, that we prolonged the
deadline of registration for the 38th Linguistics Colloquium until the
20th May 2003. We learned that by several registrations the transfer
of the conference fee was still not possible for administrative
reasons. Other registrations had to face problems because of the long
series of national holidays. Should this be the case by your
registration as well, you can now naturally registrate until the 20th
May by transferring the conference fee of 60 Euros (instead of 70
Euros after the 2nd May). After the 20th May the conference fee
amounts 70 Euros (in accordance with the 1st circular). People
intended to pay on arrival at the conference site pay also 70
Euros. If you have already transferred 70 Euros after the 2nd May, the
difference of 10 Euros will be refunded at your registration in
Piliscsaba. The accomodation fees can be transferred to the same
bank-account as the conference fee. Family-members who are not
attending the conference do not have to pay the conference fee.

These data can be relevant to your transfer:

Name of the bank: INTER-EUROPA BANK
Address of the bank: SZABADSAG TER 15., H-1054 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY.
