Dear Colleague, 

On behalf of the 28th Annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium Organizing Committee,
we would like to ask if you would be willing to review abstracts for the
Colloquium.

Each reviewer for PLC28 is sent between five and ten abstracts in his or her
area of specialization.  Abstracts will be sent out the the reviewers on or
before December 12th, 2003, and we ask that their scores be returned by January
12th, 2004.

As usual, we expect papers dealing with all subfields of linguistics, and so
scholars in all areas will be needed.  More information about the conference can
be found at:

http://www.ling.upenn.edu/Events/PLC/

Abstracts will be posted anonymously as PDF files, and each reviewer will
receive a list of URLs.  Communication with reviewers will be primarily via
e-mail.

If you are interested, please respond by Friday, December 5th.  For your
convenience, you may reply using the attached form.  Alternatively, you may
e-mail John Laury (jlaury@babel.ling.upenn.edu) directly with your name,
area(s) of specialisation, affiliation, postal address, fax and telephone
numbers.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to e-mail John or
Marjorie (mpak@babel.ling.upenn.edu) directly or the Committee as a whole
(plc28@babel.ling.upenn.edu).

Thank you for your consideration!

John Laury and Marjorie Pak, co-chairs,
PLC28 Organizing Committee
