Special thanks to...

John Coleman (Chair of the Committee for Comparative Philology, Linguistics, and Phonetics)

John has been enthusiastically supporting LingO from the very start. His advice and active help have helped us in our bid to secure the funding that allowed us to organise LingO they way we have. We would also like to thank him for agreeing to give the opening address.

Kate Dobson (Departmental secretary)

Kate, the heart and soul of linguistics at Oxford, has been a tremendous help in the logistics and administration surrounding the organisation of LingO 2007. Her experience with LingO 2005 and willingness to deal with the intricacies of university red tape have greatly eased the task of the executive committee. Heartfelt thanks!
