    Re: Limited space workshops at CSDL - sign up NOW

    We would like to call your attention to two special workshops, described
    below, which will be held on Thursday, May 11 in conjunction with the
    fifth conference on "Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Grammar" (CSDL
    2000, May 11-14, 2000), at UC Santa Barbara. The workshops are free to
    those who are REGISTERED for the full CSDL conference (not the one-day
    registration option), but you must sign up for them in advance. Priority
    will be given to those already registered, on a first-come, first-serve
    basis. Those who intend to register for the full CSDL conference may ask
    to be put on a list for the workshops, but admission will be contingent
    on receipt of registration fees.

    Space in these workshops is limited, so if you want to participate,
    please send us an email stating your intention immediately. Please
    include the following information:

    Your name
    Your registration status for the CSDL conference
    Email address
    Telephone number
    Do you wish to be placed on the list for participation in:
            Workshop 1 (Thursday, May 11, 1:30-3:00)?
            Workshop 2 (Thursday, May 11, 3:30-5:00)?

    Please send the above information via email to Ellen Bartee at:

            ellenb@umail.ucsb.edu

    For information on the full CSDL 2000 conference, including registration

    We hope to see you soon in Santa Barbara!

    Sincerely,
    John Du Bois
    for The Local Organizing Committee

    Workshop 1:
    TOPICS IN BLENDING THEORY
    Thursday, May 11, 1:30-3:00
    Santa Barbara Harbor Room, UCen

    Gilles FAUCONNIER (San Diego)
    Mark TURNER (Maryland)

    Discussant:
    Eve SWEETSER (Berkeley)

    This workshop will focus on the latest research developments in Blending
    Theory as developed by Fauconnier and Turner, now emerging from their
    year of work together at the Center for Advanced Studies, Stanford.
    Sweetser will provide an additional perspective and commentary.

    Workshop 2:
    TOPICS IN DISCOURSE, GRAMMAR, AND INTERACTION
    Thursday, May 11, 3:30-5:00
    Santa Barbara Harbor Room, UCen

    John DU BOIS (Santa Barbara)
    Patricia CLANCY (Santa Barbara)
    Carol GENETTI (Santa Barbara)
    John GUMPERZ (Santa Barbara)

    Discussants:
    Sandra THOMPSON (Santa Barbara)
    Amy KYRATZIS (Santa Barbara)

    With all its participants from Santa Barbara, this workshop aims to
    present the "Santa Barbara School" approach (if one exists!) to
    discourse, with a focus on connections between discourse and grammar. Du
    Bois and Clancy will focus on argument structure (in adults and
    children), Genetti will focus on grammaticization, and Gumperz will
    focus on interactionally distributed cognition. The intention is to
    motivate the research agenda through consideration of both the
    theoretical assumptions that underlie it, and the kinds of questions,
    data, and methods that lead to results. Discussion will be led by
    Thompson and Kyratzis.
