Successful GLSA Bake Sale
From GLSA manager Jesse Harris:
The GLSA would like to give a hearty thanks to all those who participated in the bake sale yesterday afternoon. With the help of bakers and eaters alike, we were able to raise a whopping $566 in a mere two hours!!! The money raised is enough to cover not one but two years of advertising rights on Linguist List.
[Thanks Hungry Linguists!]

GLSA Symbolic Bake Sale Today (with Real Goodies)
The GLSA is holding a Symbolic Bake Sale today, 12:00-2:00 pm, in the South College Lounge, to raise money for advertising GLSA titles on Linguist List. The sale symbolizes an attempt to alleviate GLSA's temporary financial woes with real baked goods. Please come stuff your face with copious quantities of cookies and cupcakes -- you'll be contributing to two very worthy causes with one bite: the GLSA and Linguist List!! We will also be accepting donations from those wishing to abstain from the sugar fest (or from those feeling extra generous).
[Thanks Jesse!]

The deadline will be just before SALT 18 in March.

UMOP 36 Second Call for Papers
From Michael Becker:
You will recall that we are planning to have a phonology/phonetics UMOP this summer. The theme is computational and theoretical work. More specifically, contributions of the following kinds of encouraged:
- Papers about computational models of phonology/phonetics. These may or may not be accompanied by an actual computational implementation.
- Papers about the use of programming (e.g. Praat, Perl, etc.) to advance work in phonology/phonetics. Think of this as an opportunity to write a user manual for your script/program, explaining how it works and how others can use it.
- Papers about the formal properties of your favorite phonological/phonetic theory, with or without an actual computational implementation.
- Other papers that can be loosely described as related to computation and phonetics/phonology.
Not sure if your paper fits in? Ask me. Everybody in, at, or of South College is invited to contribute, including visitors and passers-by. If there is interest, the UMOP will be accompanied by a website that links to/hosts relevant stuff.
The deadline for submission is July 10, 2007. We really want to have this volume out the door before the end of the summer, so please work with us here.
If you are interested in contributing to this UMOP, please send me an email soon, and tell me in a few sentences what you think your paper will be about.
Go, UMOP!

What does GLSA have on Amazon?
It's listmania time!Computation in phonology UMOP: call for papers
Work about computational aspects of phonology has been accumulating, and the public is clamoring for a UMOP. Clamor no more, Michael is here to edit a UMOP for you. Already, the very stirring and motivational number 36 has been assigned to this UMOP project!The DEADLINE for submitting the FINAL version of your paper is JUNE 15, 2007. Expressions of interest are to Michael as soon as possible. Everybody in, at, or of South College is invited to contribute, including visitors and alumni. As for possible topics, the editor would like to keep it reasonably broad, including stuff like:
- Papers about computational models of phonology/phonetics. These may or may not be accompanied by an actual computational implementation.
- Papers about the use of programming (e.g. Praat, Perl, etc.) to advance work in phonology/phonetics. Think of this as an opportunity to write a user manual for your script/program, explaining how it works and how others can use it.
- Papers about the formal properties of your favorite phonological/phonetic theory, with or without an actual computational implementation.
- Other papers that can be loosely described as related to computation and phonetics/phonology.
- Papers that celebrate the number 36 in a computationally phonological way.
Not sure if your paper fits in? Ask Michael.
If there is interest, the UMOP will be accompanied by a website that hosts/links to relevant stuff.
If you are interested in contributing to this UMOP, please (again) inform Michael as soon as possible (within the week), and tell him in a few sentences what you think your paper will be about. Remember, this is your single chance to contribute to the only 36th UMOP ever to be published.
