announces the 5th LISSIM to take place in Kangra, May 25-June 8, 2011,
surrounded by the Dhaula Dhar range of Himalayan mountains. The
Summer School venue is ideal for communal living and learning, devoid of
the usual distractions of a city, town or even a touristy hill station.

The teaching faculty will consist of the following established experts in
formal linguistics topics
KA Jayaseelan, English and Foreign Language University, Hyderabad
Zeljko Boskovic, University of Connecticut
Norvin Richards, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Michal Starke, CASTL, Tromso
Given popularity of the School, the admission to the School is likely to be
highly competitive and since the number of student participants is limited to
25, prospective participants are therefore requested to apply as soon as
possible. Students from India are requested to apply for membership to
FOSSSIL by writing an email of intention to secretaryfosssil.in. All
prospective students for the School are requested to send an email to the
same address with the following information latest by 1st April, 2011:

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.
