MIT and Harvard University will host SULA 5 during the weekend of 15-17 May, 2009.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers working on languages or dialects which do not have an established tradition of work in formal semantics. We especially encourage abstract submissions from those whose work involves primary fieldwork or experimentation as well as analysis. We strongly encourage the participation of graduate students.

Invited speakers:

Enoch Aboh (UvA) and Michel DeGraff (MIT)

Seth Cable, UMass Amherst

Amy Rose Deal, UMass Amherst

Imelda Perley, Wolastoqewiyik Nation

Roberto Sántiz Gómez, CIESAS (unable to attend)

Luciana Storto, USP

Pedro Mateo, University of Kansas
