<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We kindly ask you to help us get the word out about
our 8th Central<BR>> European Generative Grammar Summerschool? As always,
this is an<BR>> entirely free school (no tuition fees), and this year the
accomodation<BR>> is even free for all. Your help is particularly appreciated
this year,<BR>> as we are trying to survive in the face of severe
administrative<BR>> difficulties. If you could pass this message on to your
local contacts<BR>> that we do not have access to (eg. departmental, regional
or topical<BR>> mailing lists, other local universities and departments,
etc.), we<BR>> would be most grateful.<BR>><BR>> Thank you for your

The 8th Central European Summer School in Generative
Linguistics<BR>(CESSGL)<BR>><BR>>
Nis 01<BR>> 23 July - 03
August<BR>><BR>> <A

Announcing the 8th free summerschool: as every year: we are organising<BR>> a
summerschool in Generative Grammar in Central/Eastern Europe, which<BR>> has
both excellent researchers as teachers and is entirely free (no<BR>>
enrollement fees). This summer, the accomodation (hostel) is even free<BR>>
for everybody.<BR>><BR>> Additionally, there are grants available to cover
the travel costs of<BR>> Eastern European students.<BR>><BR>> To
register, simply fill in the form at:<BR>><BR>> <A
href="http://egg.auf.net/register.html">http://egg.auf.net/register.html</A><BR>><BR>>
The deadline for registration is the 15th May.<BR>><BR>><BR>> The
school will be held in Nis (Yugoslavia), during two weeks (23 July<BR>> to 3
August), and is separated into two parallel teaching tracks:<BR>><BR>> *
one introduction track for people with little background in<BR>>
(generative) linguistics<BR>> * one medium/advanced track for people who
already know the basics and<BR>> want to get into research
topics.<BR>><BR>> The school offers two weeks of intensive intellectual
work in syntax,<BR>> semantics and phonology (this summer has a strong
morpho-phonological<BR>> component), with the following teacher
lineup:<BR>><BR>> <Haike Jacobs, Jonathan Kaye, Tobias Scheer, Olga
Tomic, Michal Starke.<BR>> Klaus Abels, Arhonto Terzi, Ellie Boyadzeva, Luisa
Marti, Orin Percus><BR>><BR>> Finally, an important aspect of this
school is that it tries hard to<BR>> keep a balance between intellectual life
and fun, providing not only<BR>> hard-working classes, but also hard-partying
parties.<BR>><BR>> People who register will be automatically subscribed to
a discussion<BR>> list about the school, where all further information will
be<BR>> sent. This allows you to keep up with the latest development in
the<BR>> region (e.g. security issues), with the potential changes in
the<BR>> programme, and to ask any question you might have.<BR>><BR>>
