 ISRAEL ASSOCIATION FOR THEORETICAL LINGUISTICS

 Forteenth Annual Conference


We enclose details about accommodation, travel and the schedule for

June 8-9 1998. We hope you will be able to join us.

Accommodation: people wishing to book accommodation should contact 
Ariel Cohen (arikcbgumail.bgu.ac.il) ASAP.


There are three main options:

* BeerSheva Hilton: single 95$, double 115$, suite 220$ (all prices 
per night and include breakfast, the prices do not include 17% VAT).

* Neot Midbar Hotel: single 56$, double 74$, triple 104$, lunch 13$, 
dinner 22$ (at the Red Sand Grill restaurant).

* BGU dorms: shared apartment: 179 NIS(approx 50$) for one night, 
or 330 NIS (= 93$ approx) for up to a week. Own apartment 
(suitable for a couple): 265 NIS for one night, or 549 NIS 
for up to a week.

Travel: BeerSheva is well connected to both TelAviv and Jerusalem 
by fast, air conditioned Egged buses; ask driver for Ben Gurion
University stop. Once you're safely off the bus, cross the road,
main entrance becomes visible immediately.

Drivers: Turn left to Ben Gurion Ave., which is the street running south
of the university and north of a big hospital. Take the second
left turn (a turn without a traffic light; if you hit a light,
you have driven too far). You will see two gates with barriers; pick the
one on the left - this is the visitors (paid) parking.
