<br>
</b>The Trondheim Summer School in Linguistics (TROSS) at NTNU (Norwegian
University of Science and Technology) will offer 3 days with intensive
courses, followed by a 2-days workshop, both with the over-all theme
<i>Multi-verb constructions in Constraint-Based Grammar.<br><br>
</i>The courses are sponsored by NFR (Norwegian Research Council) through
its program 'Nasjonale forskerkurs', and the workshop is sponsored by the
NUFU project 'The Legon-Trondheim Linguistics and Literacy
Project'.<br><br>
The courses give an introduction to <i>Lexical Functional Grammar
(LFG)</i> and <i>Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)</i>, through
their application to multi-verb expressions and 'complex predicates' as
manifest in West-African, and South- and South-East Asian languages.
Teachers are <i>Miriam Butt</i>, University of Manchester, <i>Mary Esther
Kropp Dakubu</i>, University of Ghana, <i>Kweku E. Osam</i>, University
of Ghana, and <i>Stephen M. Wechsler</i>, University of Texas at Austin.
<br>
The ensuing workshop focuses on the same and related themes, with invited
talks as well as selected papers. The invited speakers are <i>Felix
Ameka</i>, University of Leiden, <i>Miriam Butt</i>, University of
Manchester, <i>Mary Esther Kropp Dakubu</i>, University of Ghana, and
<i>Stephen M. Wechsler</i>, University of Texas at Austin. There will be
about 10-12 selected papers (see below). Participants in the workshop are
welcome to also attend the courses.<br><br>
<b>WORKSHOP ON MULTI-VERB CONSTRUCTIONS (JUNE 26- 27)<br><br>

Papers<br><br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times">We invite papers for 40 min.

should address the topics of multi-verb and complex predicate
constructions, possibly with data from other language areas than those in
focus for the course, and not necessarily presented in the frameworks
highlighted in the course. <br><br>
