Message 2: Re: 4.745 Conferences: Aphasia, Formal, Great Britain, Systemic

re: Academy of Aphasia.

I have just been informed that "to attend the Academy of Aphasia meeting as
a nonmember and as a nonpresenter, the tradition has been to use a
guest pass to do so (although the informer has no idea of what guest
passes are still available, and I have no idea waht guest passes are). (Which
shows how much the Chair of the Board knows). Anyway, in addition, hotel
reservations were to have been made by Sept 23rd.

However, if you are still dying to attend, let me know and I will see what
I can do. And, for your information, the 1994 meeting of the Academy will be
be held at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, MA Oct 23 - 25, 1994. If you are
interested in getting material on the meeting or on the academy let me know.

A reminder for those who liked the idea of celebrating World Linguistics
Day on the day of the invention of the Korean alphabet (an early outstanding
achievement of our discipline):
 "World Linguistics Day" (Korean Alphabet Day) is on October 9th!

(P.S. If you are in the Chicago area: I'm sure there'll be a party on that
 occasion.)
