 1998 ANNUAL COLLOQUIUM


 Amsterdam


The 1998 Henry Sweet Society Colloquium will be held from Wednesday 16
September to Saturday 19 September in Amsterdam. This will be the
first time the Colloquium has ventured outside England and the Dutch
members of the Society of various university affiliations are
combining efforts to ensure that this Colloquium will be a
particularly enjoyable one.

Amsterdam, with its distinguished history of linguistics publishers
from the seventeenth century to today, seemed eminently suitable as
the centre most easily accessible to members both on the Continent and
in Britain.

The exact location of the sessions will be determined by the number of
participants, but options have been taken on a number of places at the
University of Amsterdam, the Free University and in the City of
Amsterdam itself.

Papers are invited on any aspect of the history of linguistics. They
will typically be of 20 minutes duration with 10 minutes for
discussion. We would like to make abstracts available to participants
at the Colloquium and these should be sent to Robin Smith at the
address below by the 31st January 1998. Abstracts should be no longer
than 300 words and may be submitted on paper and/or
electronically. Please check that your submission is acknowledged.
