The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley and the International Computer Science Institute are pleased to announce a conference in honor of Charles J. Fillmore on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The theme of the conference is Fillmore's contributions to Linguistics for nearly five decades.
