Introductory Note

The LSA Secretariat has prepared this Meeting Handbook to serve as the official program for the 79th Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA). In addition, this handbook is the official program for the Annual Meetings of the American Dialect Society (ADS), the American Name Society (ANS), the North American Association for the History of the Language Sciences (NAAHoLS), the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics (SPCL), and the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA).

We gratefully acknowledge the assistance provided by the LSA Program Committee: (Diane Brentari, Chair; Eugene Buckley; Peter Culicover; Catherine O'Connor; Toshiyuki Ogihara; Margaret Speas; Lindsay Whaley; and Draga Zec) and the help of the members who served as consultants to the Program Committee: Barbara Abbott, Suzanne Flynn, Susanne Gahl, John Goldsmith, Lenore Grenoble, Jay Jasanoff, William Ladusaw, Anne Lobeck, Lisa Menn, Sally McConnell-Ginet, Carol Neidle, Keren Rice, and Gillian Sankoff.

We are also grateful to Marlyse Baptista and Adrienne Bruyn (SPCL), David Boe (NAAHoLS), Edwin Lawson (ANS), Allan Metcalf (ADS), and Victor Golla (SSILA) for their cooperation.

We appreciate the help given by the Oakland Local Arrangements Committee chaired by Geoffrey K. Pullum.

We hope this Meeting Handbook is a useful guide for those attending, as well as a permanent record of, the 2005 Annual Meeting in Oakland, CA.

LSA Business Meeting Chair: Joan Bybee Room: Exhibit Hall East Time: 5:30 - 7:00 PM Resolutions Committee: Elizabeth C. Traugott (Stanford U), Chair Mark Baker (Rutgers U) Ellen Kaisse (U WA) 25 Friday Afternoon LSA Rules for Motions and Resolutions

The following rules for motions and resolutions were prepared by William J. Gedney and Ilse Lehiste and approved by the Executive Committee at its June 1973 meeting. LSA members are urged to follow these ground rules in order to have their motions and resolutions considered at the Business Meeting.

1. Definitions A motion is any proposition calling for action whether by an officer of the Society, the Executive Committee or the membership. A resolution expresses the opinion or feeling of a group. Resolutions are of two kinds: a) resolutions expressing 'the sense of the majority of the meeting,' and b) resolutions expressing 'the sense of the majority of the membership'.

2. Procedure Regarding Motions

2a. Motions are in order only at the duly constituted annual business meeting. Voting is restricted to members of the Society. Motions may be initiated by the Executive Committee or from the floor.

2b. Motions initiated by the Executive Committee require for their passage a majority vote of the members voting at the meeting.

2c. Motions initiated from the floor, if they receive affirmative vote of a majority of members voting at the meeting, are then to be submitted by the Executive Committee to a mail ballot of the membership of the Society in the next issue of the LSA Bulletin. Passage requires: a) a majority of those voting, and b) that the total of those voting in favor must be at least 2.5% of the personal membership.

2d. If a member wishes to introduce a motion, but prefers to avoid the delay involved in 2c above, the motion may be submitted in advance to the Executive Committee (before their regular meeting preceding the business meeting at which the motion is to be introduced) with a request that the Executive Committee by majority vote of the Committee approve the introduction of the motion at the business meeting as a motion initiated by the Executive Committee (see 2b above).

3. Procedure Regarding Resolutions

3a. Resolutions may be introduced at the annual business meeting or at any special meeting of the Society, such as the summer meeting.

3b. A Resolutions Committee consisting of three members will be appointed by the president prior to the beginning of each regular or special meeting. Any member wishing to introduce a resolution must submit it in advance to the Resolutions Committee which, in addition to its traditional duty of formulating resolutions of thanks and the like, will have the duty to make sure that the language is clear, and that duplication is avoided. The Resolutions Committee may meet in advance for this purpose or may, if necessary, retire to caucus during the course of the meeting.

3c. A resolution expressing the sense of the majority of the meeting requires for its passage the affirmative vote of a majority of the members voting at the meeting.

3d. If at least ten members present at the meeting so desire, a resolution may be broadened to express 'the sense of the majority of the membership', regardless of whether or not it has passed the procedure in 3c above, by the following steps: the resolution is forwarded to the Executive Committee for submission to the membership by mail ballot (in the next issue of the LSA Bulletin). Passage of such a 'sense of the majority of the membership' resolution requires the affirmative vote (more than 50%) of the membership responding.

Yokuts and Utian Languages 69 Room: Oakland

Organizers: Juliette Blevins (Max Planck Inst-Leipzig) Victor Golla (Humboldt SU)

The three Penutian language families of Central California, Costanoan (Ohlone), Miwok, and Yokuts, appear to be more closely related to one another than to any of the other families that have been assigned to the Penutian stock. This relationship, which Catherine Callaghan has dubbed 'Yok-Utian', resembles the relationship among the Plateau Penutian languages (Klamath-Modoc, Molala, and Sahaptian) in being close enough to permit rigorous phonological comparison and both lexical and grammatical reconstruction. In this special session, scholars working on the Yokuts, Miwok, and Costanoan languages come together to share their results, looking at the historical-comparative framework, the congruities in structure, the nature of the documentation, and the current status of revitalization efforts.
