P. L. S. BECAUSE WE ARE IN ONE SCHOOL AND THEN THE FACT THAT WE ALSO INVITE PEOPLE FROM THE INFORMATICS I SUPPOSE IT'S JUST THAT WE DO HAVE PRETTY STRONG TIES WITH THEM AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BE TOO OFFENDED I HOPE NOT ANYWAY UM SO YEAH SO WHAT KIND OF PROVISOR CAN WE PUT ON I MEAN WE COULD WE COULD JUST SAY OUTRIGHT ANYONE IN THEIR THIRD YEAR OR ANYONE IN THEIR SECOND OR THIRD YEAR BUT I DON'T KNOW HMM OR WE CAN JUST YOU KNOW T UH TAKE WHATEVER WE GET AND PICK THE BEST BETWEEN US WHICH IS YEAH YEAH LET'S JUST DO THAT THAT'S SEEMS MOST STRAIGHT FORWARD YEAH JUST SO SO IF YOU JUST SEND THEM A GENERAL THING SAYING THE LINGUISTICS DEPARTMENT'S HAVING THIS CONFERENCE AND WOULD LIKE TO INVITE POST GRADUATES FROM THE INFORMATICS OF YEAH SO WHO WANTS TO SEND SOMETHING OUT TO INFORMATICS I'LL DO THAT THAT'S FINE AND SHOULD I GET IN TOUCH WITH PHILOSOPHY AS WELL YEAH SURE UM SO YEAH SO WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY IS ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GIVE A TALK ON LOGIC OR PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE UM BUT PUT A WARNING THAT IF IT'S LOGIC THEN THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT NO ONE WILL UNDERSTAND OR NOT THAT MANY I MEAN MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF YOU JUST PUT YEAH JUST PUT PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE THAT'S THAT'S PROBABLY GOOD OR JUST OR ANY PH SOME RELEVANCE CLAUSE SO IF YOU'RE A PHILOSOPHY STUDENT WITH UM YOU KNOW AND YOUR WORK HAS GOT AN INTEREST IN LANGUAGE THEN YEAH THAT'S IT THAT'S WHAT YOU DO YEAH THAT I THINK THAT'S AS MUCH AS WE NEED TO SAY THAT'S RIGHT SO UH YOU'VE GOTTA WORK OUT HOW TO DO THAT AND WHO TO EMAIL MM-HMM ADJUST FOR PHILOSOPHY STUDENTS WITH AN INTEREST IN LANGUAGE AND AND THAT'S IT AND THEN BETWEEN US WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING AND AND I MEAN AT THE SAME TIME AS WE'RE SORTING THROUGH ALL THE OTHER TITLES AND AND DECIDING UM HOW TO DIVIDE UP THE SESSIONS SEE SOMEONE SUGGESTED TO ME THAT IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER TO HAVE TALKS ON A SIMILAR TOPIC SPREAD OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHICH TO ME JUST SEEMED ABSOLUTELY CRAZY AND THE REASON SHE GAVE ME WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH UH TAKING OUT LIKE A WHOLE DAY OR A WHOLE AFTERNOON WOULD BE QUITE DIFFICULT BUT I THINK THAT BALANCE AGAINST THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY WELL LOOK I CAN HAVE JUST THIS ONE DAY OFF AS OPPOSED TO WHEN I'LL NEED AN HOUR OVER THREE DA YOU KNOW AN HOUR EACH DAY FOR THREE DAYS IT YOU CAN END UP HAVING TO TAKE THREE AFTERNOONS OR THREE MORNINGS OR WHATEVER OFF SO I THINK IN GENERAL AND ALSO FOR THE SAKE OF THE LECTURERS UH I THINK A LOT OF THE TIME SIMON KIRBY HAS ALREADY SAID TO ME THAT ANYONE ANY OF HIS STUDENTS HE WANTS TO BE ON THE FIRST DAY ON THE WEDNESDAY RIGHT AND THAT'S BECAUSE I SHIFTED IT I BASICALLY HAD IT ON MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY TO BEGIN WITH AND THEN EVE IT MOVED DOWN TWICE TO WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SO WEDNESDAY IS THE ONLY DAY LEFT THAT HE CAN MAKE OH I SEE RIGHT HE WANTS THEM THERE BECAUSE HE SO HE CAN MAKE IT OKAY YEAH
