1. Pat Langley, reminder/Cognitive Science Conference
2. Ecole d'ete, ESSLLI'97: Student Session (Call for Papers)
3. David Prager Branner, Conference: China-Local Languages & Cultures conference

The 1997 Cognitive Science Conference will take place at Stanford
University from August 7 to 10. This year we are trying to help the
conference regain its original breadth, and we are especially
interested in attracting participants from the linguistics community.

For those who have not yet heard, we have extended the arrival
deadline for full (six-page) papers until Tuesday, February 11, so
there is still time to submit. For details about length and format,
please see the call for papers in

 http://www-csli.stanford.edu/cogsci97/cfp.html

If you cannot make the full-paper deadline, you can still submit a
one-page abstract by March 4, three weeks later. Most abstracts will
lead to poster presentations, but we may invite some abstract authors
to give regular talks.

If you have questions about the conference, or if you are willing
to review papers, please send email to cogsci97csli.stanford.edu.

Conference on the Local Languages and Local Cultures of China

During the last weekend in April, 1997, the University of Pennsylvania
will host a conference on the local languages and local cultures of
China. This will be a multidisciplinary conference bringing together
specialists in linguistics, anthropology, archeology, sociology,
religion, mythology, art history, literature, history, history of
science, folklore, cuisine, and other fields to discuss the local
languages and cultures of China. There are no restrictions on
geographical locations to be considered and all language groups, both
Sinitic and non-Sinitic, may be included. Papers from given
discipline must be designed to speak to the concerns of students and
scholars from at least one other discipline represented at the
conference.

 Sincerely yours,

 Victor H. Mair
 Professor
 University of Pennsylvania
