Keynote speaker is RAY JACKENDOFF (What's in the Lexicon?). Other invited speakers are: FRANS ZWARTS (Negation, Temporal Connectives and Nonveridicality), ED KEENAN & ED STABLER (Language invariance and Language Learnability), JAN KOSTER (The uniformity of Grammar), JOHN OHALA (On the origin of the processes creating phonological varaints), GEERT BOOIJ (Lexical storage and phonological change), HARALD CLAHSEN (Storage and Computation of Language in Children with Williams Syndrome), STEVEN GILLIS (The acquisition of metrical phonology: Computational learning experiments with(out) parameters, NICHOLAS ASHER (Discourse parsing and interpretation), FRANS VAN EEMEREN (Rhetorical analysis within a dialectical framework), SALLY THOMASON (Competition and rule creation in language variation and change), and PIETER MUYSKEN (Accommodation strategies in language contact). Also there will be an evening lecture on Monday evening, October 19th, by: STEVE PINKER "Words and rules". This evening lecture will also be open to non-participants from UiL OTS and from the National Graduate School of Linguistics LOT, in so far as there sufficient places. Besides the invited lectures there are 19 oral presentations of selected papers, and 24 poster presentations. As of September 7th, a full congress programme and registration form can be found on the internet http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl/Conferences/sc_home.htm or can be obtained from our secretariate. NOTE THAT REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY ALSO FOR PARTICIPANTS FROM UiL OTS AND LOT, AND THAT THE REGISTRATION FEE WILL BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER AFTER OCTOBER 1ST. THUS, ON-SITE REGISTRATION IS POSSIBLE, BUT WILL BE RELATIVELY COSTLY.
