<br>Subject: Re: LSA Institute, Summer 99
<br>
<br>The LSA is holding its annual institute for the summer of 1999 at the U of
<br>Illinois in Urbana. The last time it was here, in 1977, I chaired the ADS
<br>summer session, and I think about 5 people showed up, though I maybe
<br>overestimating.  The institute lineup looks pretty attractive. Labov, Wang,
<br>Wolfram(I think), lots of others. Publicity hasn't gone out yet, because
<br>things are still in the planning stages.  I'll be here, doing a course
<br>(probably some version of literacy and technology).  If enough people are
<br>interested, maybe we should try for another session, something to beat our
<br>1977 record. As the LSA says, it will be the last time this century to try.
<br>Of course, for those of us waiting for 2001 . . . .
<br>
<br>Anyway, Allan and others, think about the possibilities and let me know if
<br>you need a local liaison.
