The Linguistic Society of St. Petersburg is an organization devoted to
the advancement of knowledge on all fields of linguistics, which will
be effected through a series of workshops and seminars and eventual
publications.

The founding meeting of the Society took place in St. Petersburg on 10
December 1996, at which time the Constitution was accepted by the
membership.

Article 3.1 of the Constitution reads, "Any citizen of the Russian
Federation or other state, as well as a person withoun citizenship,
concerned with scholarly activities, irrspective of his/her
profession, job or position ... can be a member of the Society.

I have now included on my personal web page the bibliography of resources
whiH I have collated so far. The present list only includes information
sent to me from members of the linguist list, but will be updated with my
own findings as my project progresses. A text-only version is also
available at this site. Thankyou to everyone who wrote.

The February 1997 Conference list is now available at
http://www.cltr.uq.oz.au:8000/conf.html

Due to the theft of my computer over the Christmas holiday period, I have
had to reconstruct the conference list from bits and pieces. Apologies to
those who submitted conference information which doesn't appear.

While I have a tape back-up system, the kind souls also took the tapes...

Anyway, we're back in business, and I hope that there aren't too many
errors in the list. Please contact me with any corrections or additions.
