6th Workshop on Altaic Formal Linguistics
Short Title: WAFL 6
Date: 04-Sep-2009 - 06-Sep-2009
Location: Nagoya, Japan
Contact: Hiroki Maezawa

Meeting URL: http://www.gcoe.lit.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~wafl6/
Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Language Family(ies): Altaic
Meeting Description:
The Sixth Workshop on Altaic Formal Linguistics (WAFL 6) will be held at Nagoya
University, Japan. Dates: 22 - 24 May, 2009. Along with a General Session,
there will be a Special Session on Acquisition in Altaic and talks by invited
speakers.
WAFL6, planned for May 22-24, 2009, at Nagoya University in Japan has been postponed. This is due to the outbreak of swine flu, and the particularly aggressive stance that the Japanese government has taken in attempting to prevent the influenza from spreading into the country. Holding the meeting at this point would put the participants coming from abroad at risk of being placed in a dire stuation such as quarantine, or even a last-minute cancellation of the meeting should the situation deteriorate further.
We have rescheduled the WAFL6 meeting for September 4-6, 2009. Nagoya University has agreed to continue to be the host for the meeting.
We understand that this will cause a great deal of inconvenience, and we regret that we were forced to make this decision.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
