Title: SEELRC expanded web site
Body: The Slavic and East European Language Resource Center (SEELRC) has recently updated and expanded its website: http://seelrc.org/ Users will now have an easier access to SEELRC's many projects, resources and activities, among them the online Network of Reference Grammars (currently BCS, Czech, Macedonian, Polish, Romanian, Russian; [upcomin reference grammars scheduled for 2004-05 academic year - Greek, Georgian, Grammatical Sketches (Albanian, Romani)]. Advanced level exercises with diagnostics are currently up for Polish and Russian. Romanian exercises are coming soon. An important new feature is the addition of the SEELRC WEBliographies of Internet resources to the website. The webliographies, which are annotated throughout, represent what is currently the most comprehensive compendium of online language and country-related sites for the following languages: Albanian, Armenian, Belarusian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Bulgarian, Czech, Georgian, Greek, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, and Ukrainian. We are preparing to unveil the first version of our Russian grammatical dictionary project this fall. Currently, there are 13,000 head words (and more than 100,000 individual forms). Each entry provides a full grammatical paradigm with sound for all parts of speech, related morphological/lexical forms, verbal government, English gloss, examples of usage. In cases where there are multiple standard forms of pronunciation (either free variation of stress placement or Moscow/Petersburg differences), both pronunciations are given.

Title: Call for Papers: 13th Annual Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference
Body: From: http://test.linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-2801.html Date: 12-Mar-2005 - 13-Mar-2005 Location: Berkeley, CA, United States of America This conference aims to explore constructions of the 'foreign' in the German- speaking context throughout the centuries. Paper proposals are being accepted for the 13th Annual Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference, March 12-13, 2005 at the University of California, Berkeley. The conference theme is ''Finding the 'Foreign'.'' This conference aims to explore constructions of the 'foreign' in the German- speaking context throughout the centuries. Etymology reveals that 'friend' was once related to family; 'foe' was related to strife. Situated between friend and foe one finds the stranger or the foreigner - 'der Fremde' - potentially inspiring curiosity or fear, potentially a friend or a foe, potentially a source of insight about oneself. Who or what is foreign? What tropes or techniques create a sense of the foreign, and how do they serve to position the foreign on the spectrum from friend to foe? How have such discourses been countered by minority voices, hybrid cases, or the uncanny within oneself to destabilize or re-appropriate these categories? What does the construction of the foreign reveal about the formation of national, communal, and personal identities? We invite scholars from all disciplines to submit paper proposals responding to these or similar questions related to constructs of foreignness in modern or pre-modern time periods. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Cultural identity/ imagined communities - Ethnic & religious minorities in Germany - Heimat/ nationalism - Foreign at home? (BRD/GDR) - Migration/exiles - Linguistic approaches to the foreign - Intercultural communication - German as foreign language - Gendered portrayals of the foreign - Translating or exoticizing the foreign The primary language of the conference is English, but presentations in German are also welcome. Please send an abstract of not more than 250 words with a separate cover sheet indicating the proposed title, author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address by Friday, December 17, 2004 to: Robert T. Schechtman / Suin Shin Department of German, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-3243 or to GermanConference2005@lists.berkeley.edu

Title: Call for Papers: 13th Annual Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference
Body: From: http://test.linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-2801.html Date: 12-Mar-2005 - 13-Mar-2005 Location: Berkeley, CA, United States of America This conference aims to explore constructions of the 'foreign' in the German- speaking context throughout the centuries. Paper proposals are being accepted for the 13th Annual Interdisciplinary German Studies Conference, March 12-13, 2005 at the University of California, Berkeley. The conference theme is ''Finding the 'Foreign'.'' This conference aims to explore constructions of the 'foreign' in the German- speaking context throughout the centuries. Etymology reveals that 'friend' was once related to family; 'foe' was related to strife. Situated between friend and foe one finds the stranger or the foreigner - 'der Fremde' - potentially inspiring curiosity or fear, potentially a friend or a foe, potentially a source of insight about oneself. Who or what is foreign? What tropes or techniques create a sense of the foreign, and how do they serve to position the foreign on the spectrum from friend to foe? How have such discourses been countered by minority voices, hybrid cases, or the uncanny within oneself to destabilize or re-appropriate these categories? What does the construction of the foreign reveal about the formation of national, communal, and personal identities? We invite scholars from all disciplines to submit paper proposals responding to these or similar questions related to constructs of foreignness in modern or pre-modern time periods. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Cultural identity/ imagined communities - Ethnic & religious minorities in Germany - Heimat/ nationalism - Foreign at home? (BRD/GDR) - Migration/exiles - Linguistic approaches to the foreign - Intercultural communication - German as foreign language - Gendered portrayals of the foreign - Translating or exoticizing the foreign The primary language of the conference is English, but presentations in German are also welcome. Please send an abstract of not more than 250 words with a separate cover sheet indicating the proposed title, author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address by Friday, December 17, 2004 to: Robert T. Schechtman / Suin Shin Department of German, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-3243 or to GermanConference2005@lists.berkeley.edu
