VILEM MATHESIUS LECTURE SERIES 12
including the conference
"BRIDGES AND INTERFACES: FORM, MEANING, AND FUNCTION"
The Vilem Mathesius Teaching and Research Center in Linguistics and
Semiotics (Faculty of Philosophy, Charles University, Prague), will
organize its twelfth Lecture Series in March 1998. The Lecture Series
programme features numerous courses among which courses focusing on
issues in discourse semantics, syntax, and their interaction.
An integral part of the Lecture Series is the international linguistic
conference "Bridges and Interfaces: Form, Meaning, and Function" held
at the occasion of the 650th Anniversary of Charles University. The
conference will take place on March 12 until 14, 1998, and it will
focus on the relationships between form, meaning and function of
linguistic items from the perspective of different theoretical
approaches providing thus a fruitful basis for a discussion of bridges
and interfaces between different linguistic theories.
Below you will find more detailed information on the programme of
the series and the conference.
