Apologies to members of the FGLS mailing list, who have received it already, but there may be people who might still wish to attend FGLS3 - they will be welcome. We have as you will see a good range of papers (barring calamity or mass withdrawal), but might be able to squeeze in a couple more, if anybody has any lying fallow. Anyway, prospective participant or Zuhoerer, I'll be glad to hear from you. Please use the attached form to register. I'm afraid the supply of on-campus accommodation has dried up, but other possibilities of accommodation are listed. Looking forward to hearing from you, John Partridge FORUM FOR GERMANIC LANGUAGE STUDIES 3, FEBRUARY 26-27 Cornwallis North West Building, University of Kent at Canterbury For maps see http://speke.ukc.ac.uk/ukc/location.html#maps PROGRAMME FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26 1600 Arrival and registration 18.30 Reception 19.30-21.00 Keynote Speech: Manfred Hellmann,IDS Mannheim 'Lexikologische Erschließung des "Wendekorpus"' SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27 Session A LEXICOLOGY 9.00 Peter Lutzeier, Univ.
