>> Individual papers usually run about 20 minutes, and we welcome proposals

>>       Send me your proposal by e-mail ([log in to unmask]) or snail
>> mail (Raritan Valley Community College, P.O. Box 3300, Somerville, N J,

>>        Proposals should be in by May 1, but if they get here a little

>>         I hope to see many of you this summer.

Dear Brock and fellow ATEGers:

As president of ATEG, I would like to add my invitation to Brock's and
encourage you to take part in our annual summer conference.

Our conference is small in size--but what it lacks in size, it makes up for
in every other way: enthusiasm, good conversation, productive ideas,
camaraderie, scholarship, and high spirits (who can forget Rei Noguchi's
explication of a certain four-letter word last summer in Seattle?).
There's simply no other place where you'll find grammar conversations like
you will at ATEG.  And I know you'll take back to your classroom ideas
about grammar that you can use, ideas that may stimulate your own research.


Please consider taking part in the program.  If you've never before
presented at a conference, ATEG is a terrific place to start.  And of
course we're looking forward to hearing from the old-timers too--with their
new ideas.  Every grammar-related topic is welcome.

Please join us at Raritan Valley Community College in July.

Martha Kolln
