Dear colleagues,

On December 9th (Sunday), 2012, on the 40th day after the passing of Aleksandr E. Kibrik, the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, Philological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, organizes a one-day scientific and memorial conference dedicated to Aleksandr E. Kibrik and invites you to participate.

The conference will be held between 12 noon and 5 pm, after which an informal meeting will take place. Conference venue will be on MGU campus, at the 1st building of humanities, with the informal part at the nearby university cafeteria (see map).

We invite various kinds of presentations, including scholarly papers related to Aleksandr E. Kibrik's interests, memories of him, and presentations combining both of those genres. We invite the broad range of people who knew Aleksandr E. Kibrik, including graduates of the Department and the present-day students. You can participate in person, presenting your paper, but you can also be a corresponding participant, if you just contribute a text for publication. Applications for participation will be accepted until November 26, 2012. Please indicate if you plan to participate in person or be a corresponding participant.

Please write to the address org09.12.2012gmail.com. Working languages will be Russian and English. Time allotted to each presentation will depend on the number of applications and will be specified after November 26.

We plan to publish a booklet with conference materials by December 9, so we can only include texts received no later than November 26. The template to use in your text can be seen below. Please adhere to these rules exactly, as we will be very short on time while typesetting the booklet. The conference materials will also be published electronically.

Sincerely,
Secretary of the Organizing Committee --

Olga V. Fedorova
