Main Program

(a) We now confirm that the keynote address will be delivered on the morning of Monday 18 June 2007 by Prof Pieter Muysken of Radboud University, Nijmegen. Immediately after the discussion he will have to leave for the summer school in Louvain, Belgium, where he will have to teach his first class that very afternoon. We are extremely pleased that, in spite of all this, Prof. Muysken has consented to deliver a keynote address.

(b) There are 3 parallel sessions, 2 for SPCL and 1 for ACBLPE, for papers of 25 minutes in length (including discussion). There will also be a set of sessions dedicated to the memory of Jacques Arends, with papers addressing gradualism and population studies. The conference will close on Wednesday 20 June 2007, 13.00hrs.
