BREV TIL: Louis Hjelmslev FRA: Eva Sivertsen (1957-07-10)

VIII INTERNATIONA! CONGRESS OP LINGUISTS University, Oslo, Norway • < July 10th 1957.

Dear Colleague, This is the first volume of the Reports for the VIII International Congress of Linguists. Out of the 24 reports which are scheduled for the Congress, we have only been able to print 15 for advance distribution, A .sixteenth report has been mimeographed and is enclosed herewith. The remaining reports - those by Witold Doroszewski, Louis Roman Jakobs on, Jerzy Kuryiowicz, W.N. Locke & V.H. Yngve, Gordon E. Peterson, Kenneth L. Pike, and Erwin Reifler - will be available in Oslo at the opening of the Congress. We deeply regret this unfortunate delay, which is due to circumstances beyond our control. We would like to point out that the printed volume is an advance proof copy only. There may be a few orthographical errors.. These.will, however, be corrected in the final edition, which will be incorporated in the Proceedings of the Congress. We apologize for the makeshift character of some of the types used, especially of some of the phonetic symbols. We trust that they are similar enough to the original to be easily understood.

Yours sincerely,

“U . < \ C. Srfv. L V Eva Sivertsen Secretary
