Michigan Slavic Publications is a non-profit organization associated with the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of the University of Michigan. Its goal is to publish titles which substantially aid the study and teaching of Slavic and East European languages and cultures. The present volume, based on a colloquium held at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, in May 1997, continues a series of conference proceedings devoted to formal approaches to Slavic linguistics.
