Linguists and friends -- the annual Fall Potluck Picnic to welcome new students, faculty, visitors to the department, including undergraduates (please spread the word to them), and including linguists in or visiting other departments -- will be held on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, September 6, rain or shine, at 50 Hobart Lane in Amherst (Barbara and Volodja's house). Please mark your calendars. A fuller announcement will come around in mid to late August.
