Lancaster is in the North-West of England, about 100km (60 miles) from
Manchester and close to the Lake District, a popular resort for outdoor

city centre.

There is easy access to the University by rail, road and air.

frequent services from Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh. ROAD:
The university is close to exit 33 of the M6 motorway, connecting it
with all parts of Britain. AIR: The closest international airport is
Manchester, 60 - 90 minutes away by car, somewhat more by rail. There
are also good rail services from Glasgow and London.

This year's American Association of Italian Studies held two
sessions in Linguistics for the first time. Due in part to our
appeal to *Linguist*, we drew a number of linguists who would
not have normally known about the conference.

Again next year there will be at least two sessions in
Linguistics, with the specifics to be determined by submissions.
The abstracts will be due sometime in the Fall. Next year's con-
ference will be held at the U. of Wisconsin in Madison in April.
Anyone may submit a proposal; papers MUST be presented in person,
they cannot be read by anyone else. Presenters must be members
of the AAIS, but you need not be a member to submit an abstract.
You also do not need to be an inhabitant of the "Americas" to
submit!

I therefore encourage anyone who is working in the area of Italian
(and its dialects, etc.) to consider submitting this Fall.
