1. Peter Cole, Mid-Atlantic East Asian Syntax Workshop
2. , GLOW 1992 --- The Program
3. AHARRIS - Alan Harris, Call for papers/extended abstracts/proposals:SEMCOM/SCA

The first meeting of the Mid-Atlantic East Asian Syntax Workshop will be on
February 21, 1992 at 1 p.m. at the University of Delaware.

The speakers will be
Mamoru Saito, speaking on
"Locative and Temporal WH Phrases" (joint work with Keiko Murasugi) and Amy
Weinberg, title to be announced. If the speakers are able to stay, there will
be an early dinner at a nearby restaurant after the workshop.

Professor Saito will aso be giving a talk the previous day (February 20) at the
University of Maryland on "The Adjoined Site Theory Revisited".

There does not appear to be any date available for the workshop to meet in
March: Maryland has talks on 3/6, 3/13 and 3/20 while 3/27 is Delaware Spring
Break. I suggest that we meet on April 10 and/or April April 24. A final
meeting might be on May 22. I have yet to hear from Jersey Syntax about their
dates.

The plans for April and May are based on the assumtion that YOU will have a
talk to present. Many people told me that they would speak in the spring term,
but so far no one has volunteered! Please let me know when you would like to
speak.

 Here is the provisional program of the

 1992 GLOW Colloquium,

to be held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, April 13-15, 1992.

The Colloquium will be followed, on April 16, by two workshops,
one on the "Interfaces between Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, and
the Lexicon", the other on "African and Creole Languages".
