1. Edith A Moravcsik, Milwaukee conference postponed

 This is regarding the Conference on Functionalism and Formalims in
 Linguistics earlier announced to take place April 6-8 l995 at the
 University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. We have been notified that our
 grant proposal submitted to the National Endowment for the
 Humanities has been turned down. Since local funds available at
 our university would support only a small subset of the
 extensive roster of speakers we have invited, we have decided to
 postpone the meeting by a year. The new date is April 4-6 (Thursday
 through Saturday) l996, at which time we will be prepared to put on
 the conference whether our revised grant proposal is successful or
 not. A new call for papers will be announced in a few months, with
 the deadline for abstracts November 17 l995.

 We apologize for any inconvenience. We are in the process of sending
 individual notifications to the invited speakers informing them
 of this change and abstracts already submitted to us are being
 returned to their authors.
