Meeting Description:
The São Paulo School of Advanced Studies in Speech Dynamics (SPSASSD) is a
five-day event designed to foster speech research in Brazil by promoting
dialogue between international and national experts and offering opportunities

Amparo ? Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), the São Paulo State research
funding agency: http://www.fapesp.br/en/.
Call for Papers
Extended submission dealine: April 5, 2010
Candidates are invited to submit anonymous two-page abstracts on research
related to the SPSASSD program by April 05, 2010. Notification of acceptance
will be sent out by May 7. Selected students will have the opportunity to
discuss their work with faculty and fellow participants by means of a poster
presentation.
Eligible participants are: undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students in
any scientific area concerned with speech, from any academic institution in
Brazil; or graduate or post-doctoral students in the same areas from any
academic institution in any country having diplomatic relations with Brazil.
SPSASSD is aimed at attracting interest of promising young researchers in
contributing to the growth of speech science in Brazil. Over 200 languages,
immigrant and indigenous, are spoken throughout the country. Approaching them
with the tools of frontier speech science can open countless new horizons.
Students who would consider pursuing an academic career in the field in the
state of São Paulo are encouraged to apply for a FAPESP scholarship for
attendance. For opportunities, see:
http://www.fapesp.br/en/materia/5421/news/post-doctoral-and-young-investigator-awards-in-sao-paulo-brazil.htm
FAPESP will cover selected candidates' travel and living expenses. 30
scholarships covering travel and living expenses will be offered to students
coming from outside Brazil! Beneficiaries of FAPESP scholarships/fellowships may
apply for participation, but are not eligible for funding, as they must use
'reserva técnica'.
Training in theory and method for the study of speech dynamics will be offered
through 7 mini-courses, 5 lectures and 3 round-tables. The faculty consists of
experts in the field working in the USA, Europe, and Brazil. All sessions will
be plenary.
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
