CLS 46 call for papers
The 46th annual meeting of the Chicago Linguistic Society will be held April 8-10, 2010 at the University of Chicago. The conference will include a general session and three parasessions dedicated to Reevaluating the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface, Multilingualism, and Probabilistic Theories of Grammar.
We welcome papers from all major linguistic subfields and frameworks as well as from related cross-disciplinary areas. Papers relating to one of the parasession themes will be given preference.
Each talk will be given 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Presented papers will be published in the CLS Proceedings. See submission guidelines here. All abstracts must be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on Friday, January 15, 2010.
We eagerly anticipate this year’s conference, including our own John Goldsmith as Main Session speaker. Registration information will be made available as the conference approaches. See you there!

Lemieux going to SSILA
Third-year Ph.D. student Alice Lemieux had her paper, “A compositional approach to bipartite verbs in Washo”, accepted for presentation at the SSILA 2010 Annual Meeting in Baltimore, January 7-10. Way to go! Alice is also currently at the University of Rochester this fall as a member of the Human Language Processing Lab/Jaeger Lab.

CLS 45 says, Thanks!
To commemorate this one-month mark after the closing of our fabulous CLS 45 conference, we’ve put up a summary page on the website so you can relive it. Be sure to check out the photo album, chock full of pictures from the conference and banquet, taken and compiled by our own Christina Weaver. Thanks again for helping us make CLS 45 great!
