*This program reflects what was posted by Ardis Eschenberg (https://web.archive.org/web/20030623073231/http://wings.buffalo.edu/linguistics/ssila/SACCweb/SACC12.htm). She listed the program in alphabetical order by first author’s last name, so it is unclear which day each talk took place. The dates and organizers are inferred from the LSA Bulletin, no. 136 (June 1992) (https://www.jstor.org/stable/45275474). Furthermore, it is unclear if this program represents the official program and excludes any changes to the itinerary or if it represents those papers that were read at the conference. Any attendees who have insight into this program are invited to reach out to clarify the program above.
