THE THIRTY-FIRST LACUS FORUM

Was held at University of Illinois at Chicago
July 27-31, 2004

Conference Theme:

INTERCONNECTIONS
This theme was designed to encourage linguists to think seriously about interconnections not only among all aspects of linguistic structure but also, and especially, between language and everything else in human experience, including art and music and ritual and all cognitive processes. Also included are the use of linguistic tools in other disciplines, and the use of tools such as computers and brain-imaging machines in linguistics, both pure and applied.
