LSA 2001 Annual Meeting Program

The authors and titles of papers to be presented in January are listed by day and session in alphabetical order by the author's last name.æ A complete program including times and room assignments will be available in the Annual Meeting Handbook.

The meeting will begin with a parasessioin on reading and dialects at 4:00 PM on Thursday, 4 January, followed by invited plenary address at 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM.æ The last sessions are scheduled to finish by 12:00 noon on Sunday, 7 January.

Thursday Afternoon, 4 January

Parasession:æ Reading and Dialects
Room:æ Constitution A
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 PM

The role of vernacular dialects in reading drew increased attention from educators and linguists during the national Ebonics debate.æ Following on a Senate hearing on Ebonics and education, Congress funded a special project to investigate the relationship among African American language and culture, and literacy acquisition and development.æ Organized by the LSA Language in the School Curriculum Committee and the Center for Applied Linguistics, this parasession will bring together linguists working on that project and others whose work places the project in social and historical context.

Discussion Leader:
Cecile McKee (Chair, LSA Language in the School Curriculum Committee)

Presenters:

Congressional staff, members of Congress, and representatives from organizations with an interest in this topic have been invited to join LSA members in attending this session.

Appreciation

Frederic G. Cassidy
(1907-2000)

The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the National Council on the Humanities at its 14 July 2000 meeting in Washington, DC:

Whereas the members of the National Council note with sadness the recent death of Frederic G. Cassidy, creator and chief editor of the Dictionary of American Regional English;

Dr. Cassidy, thought by many to be the dean of English language studies in America, dedicated over 35 years to the production of the first three volumes of this dictionary which has generally been acknowledged to be a singular work that combines exemplary scholarship and broad public appeal;

Researchers, teachers, journalists, and everyone interested in how language is used will long benefit from Dr. Cassidy's extraordinary ability to map the variations of our spoken language in a way that illuminates the rich cultural diversity of the American people;

Therefore, the members of this Council extend their condolences to his family, to his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin, and to the staff of the Dictionary of American Regional English.

In Memoriam

COSWL

The Committee on the Status of Women in Linguistics invites all members of the LSA to join us in an open breakfast meeting on Saturday, 6 January, 8:00 - 9:00 AM, in the Latrobe Room, during the LSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.æ At this meeting we will discuss our ongoing COSWL projects, including the Survey of the Status of Women in Linguistics, Women in Linguistics Mentoring Program (WILMA), 2001 LSA Summer Institute Workshop, and the Survey of Courses on Language and Gender.æ We will also discuss possible future projects and the direction of COSWL in the coming years.æ All LSA members are invited to participate in this meeting, as well as in all COSWL projects, and we particularly welcome input from new participants.

As part of the ongoing 25th anniversary celebration of COSWL, we are pleased to present here a list of 50 prominent American women linguists born between 1900-1931, compiled by Christina Bratt Paulston (to also be published in the Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, forthcoming).æ Dr. Paulston encourages readers to contact her at paulston@imap.pitt.edu with additional names: Virginia French Allen; Beryl Bailey; Emma Birkmaier; Ruth Brend; Catherine A. Callaghan; Courtney Cazden; Betty Lou Dubois; Audrey Duckert; Sue Ervin-Tripp; Ilah Fleming; Francine Frank; Victoria Fromkin; Jean Berko Gleason; Barbara F. Grimes; Sarah Gudschinsky; Adelaide Hahn; Evelyn Hatch; Ruth Hirsch-Weir; Eleanor Harz Jorden; Mary Ritchie Key; Grace de Laguna; Margaret Langdon; Mildred Larson; Dorothy Lee; Ilse Lehiste; Madeleine Mathiot; Esther Matteson; Nancy Modiam; Constance Naish; Catherine Peeke; Anita Bradley Pfeiffer; Velma Pickett; Eunice Pike; Evelyn Pike; Gladys Reichard; Wilga Rivers; Betty Wallace Robinett; Janet B. Sawyer; Margaret Schlauch; Olive Shell; Eva Sivertson; Marianna C. Slocum; Vera John Steiner; Gillian Story; Evangelina Arana de Swadesh; Edith Crowell Trager; Felicia Harben Trager; Betsy Uldall; Florence Robinett Voegelin; Viola Waterhouse; Mary Ruth Wise.

We would also like to draw attention to the book Women, Language and Linguistics (Routledge 1999) by Julia Falk, which contains biographies of three important women linguists, E. Adelaide Hahn, Gladys Amanda Reichard, and Alice Vanderbilt Morris.æ We hope that publishing this list and noting the availability of Dr. Falk's book will increase general awareness of the large number of women who made major contributions to our discipline during the last century and who in many cases continue to lead us as the present century gets under way.

Decade of Behavior
(2001 - 2010)

The Linguistic Society, along with almost 50 other scientific societies representing a total membership of more than 250,000 behavioral and social scientists, has joined forces with representatives from NIH, NASA, the FBI National Academy, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to support the Decade of Behavior.æ [See 'Nota Bene', p. 24, for more on the contribution of Vice President/President-Elect Walt Wolfram and his colleagues to the exhibit.]æ The initiative was conceived as a way to educate the public and scientific colleagues in other disciplines about the present and potential contributions these sciences can make toward solving national problems.æ Major goals of the Decade of Behavior include but are not limited to: (1) developing a public education campaign to address the compelling need for greater understanding by the general public and state and federal policymakers of behavioral and social science research; (2) promoting the translation of findings from behavioral and social science research into the public policy arena; (3) stimulating the generation of new knowledge to address current challenges and to prepare the nation to face emerging problems in the 21st century, and (4) implementing a national action plan to recruit and retain the next generation of scholars in the behavioral and social sciences.

On 25 September 2000, the Decade of Behavior was launched in Washington, DC, with an exhibit of behavioral and social science research projects recently funded by federal agencies.æ Held in the Cannon Building Caucus Room, the exhibit was designed to educate members of Congress and their staffs.æ

Projects to be developed over the decade include a four-part prime-time TV series, a searchable Behavioral and Social Sciences Funding Site, a Smithsonian Lecture Series on Decade of Behavior themes, 'Behavior Week', teacher materials, a science fair at the high school level , and a Decade of Behavior Distinguished Lectures Series (at annual conventions).æ For current information, check the website: http://www.decadeofbehavior.urg.

Survey of Full-Time and Part-Time Employment.æ Last winter, along with a number of other scholarly societies, the Society surveyed departments and programs regarding their use of full-time and part-time faculty. The results of all these surveys will be combined and a final report published under the auspices of the Coalition on the Academic Workforce (CAW) later this year.æ In the meantime, a report on responses from linguistics departments and programs can be obtained from the Secretariat.

Who Owns Online Courses and Course Materials?æ A monograph produced from an invitational symposium on this subject by the Pew Learning and Technology Program is available at: http://www.center.rpi.edu/PewSym/mono2.html.

Decade of Behavior.æ The Linguistic Society's contribution to the exhibit mounted to initiate the Decade of Behavior activities on 25 September 2000 was an interactive display on Lumbee (now standing in the Museum of the Native American Resource Center in Pembroke, NC).æ The Society is grateful to Walt Wolfram and his students, Ben Tobert and Becky Childs, for their willingness to participate in the launch event.

Consortium of Social Science Associations.æ Thanksæ to Gregory Ward for representing the society at the 12-14 October 2000 COSSA workshop to develop research initiatives for the National Science Foundation.

University of Chicago Presidential Inauguration.æ LSA is grateful to Thomas A. Sebeok for his willingness to represent the society at the recent inauguration of David Randel as the 12th president of the University of Chicago.

National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage.æ The Society thanks D. Terence Langendoen for his contributions on behalf of the LSA to the recent Workshop on Language and Literature sponsored by NINCH.

Chief Illiniwek Resolution and Motions.æ 1 July 2000 was the deadline for ballots concerning this resolution and these motions [see March 2000 LSA Bulletin] which were passed by members attending the LSA business meeting, 7 January 2000, in Chicago, IL.æ Passage of these requires a majority of those voting and a total of those voting in favor must be at least 2.5% of the personal membership (or about 100 members).æ Over 100 ballots were received.æ A majority approved the resolution to 'urge the administration and Trustees of the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign to replace "Chief Illiniwek" with a symbol that does not promote inaccurate, anachronistic, and damaging stereotypes of Native American people...' and the motion that the LSA not return to the university campus as long as Chief Illiniwek remains an official symbol of the university.æ However, a majority did not approve the motion to boycott the state of Illinois as an Annual meeting site until the official symbol is changed.æ A letter was sent to Dr. Michael Aiken, chancellor of the university, informing him of these results.

Change of Address.æ Please notify the Secretariat when you move.æ It is costly and time consuming to replace journals and bulletins that could not be delivered the first time because of a bad address.

Mentoring Linguists

Linguistic Enterprises is inaugurating a mentoring program (Linguistic Mentorprises) to bring together linguists who are employed in the private sector with those who would like to be.  Very often, the greatest obstacle to establishing a career outside of academia is simply not knowing how to get started.æ In the Enterprises workshops at LSA annual meetings, speakers have told how it happened to them--how they created or found or got drawn into an interesting career which makes use of their training in linguistics and which also pays the rent.  The goal of the mentoring program is to extend this sharing of experience about professional opportunities and pitfalls into a self-sustaining year-round source of support for young linguists until they are established in their careers--and then they can assist others along the same track.  

Linguistic Enterprises is looking for volunteers to become founding members of this new endeavor.æ If you feel you can't at the moment be a mentor, please consider adding your name (with a brief statement of your experience) to the Linguistic Enterprises 'Panel of Experts', people who can be contacted by any linguist in need of information or advice on particular points that arise in planning for a nonacademic career.æ Whether or not you can participate at present, please encourage friends and colleagues you think would make good mentors to take part.    

To add yourself to the 'Panel of Experts'.æ Send an email message with your name, email address, and your area(s) of interest and work experience to: susskind@frontiernet.net.

To become a mentor.æ Send an email message with your name, email address, area(s) of interest and work experience, and the number of individuals you would be willing to mentor to: susskind@frontiernet.net.

How it works.æ Mentor-mentee pairs will be established via the Linguistic Enterprises website through a page dedicated to the mentoring program: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/linguistics/enter/index.htm (also accessible through the LSA website, http://www.lsadc.org) .æ This page will feature a list of people who have volunteered to be mentors, along with the information indicated above.æ A linguist who would like a mentor checks the list for someone with related interests and sends an email to the potential mentor.æ If both then agree to proceed, they notify the Linguistic Enterprises team, which from then on drops out of the planning--though the team would very much like to hear from mentor-mentee pairs every now  and then to know how things are going.
