Research Training Seminar and Workshop:


METHODS AND TOOLS FOR THE STUDY OF GRAMMATICAL VARIATION
November 29 - December 1, 2004 University of Oslo (in collaboration
with the University of Tromsø¸)


Teachers:
Leonie Cornips, Meertens Institute
Cecilia Poletto, CNR/University of Padova
Jan-Ola Östman, University of Helsinki


Organizers:
Janne B. Johannessen, University of Oslo
Øystein A. Vangsnes, University of Tromsø¸


The seminar is sponsored by Nasjonalt forskerutdanningsutvalg for
historisk-filosofiske fag.

The purpose of this research training seminar is to give PhD students
and other researchers insight into the methods and tools for the study
of grammatical variation that have been developed in recent
years. There will be a particular focus on the study of syntactic
variation, both from a sociolinguistic and a broader dialectological
perspective, and the teachers have all been recruited from ongoing
dialect syntax projects. Each teacher will give two lectures of
approximately two hours.

For information about the content of the lectures and other course
details, please consult the announcement on the homepage of the
Scandinavian Dialect Syntax Project (ScanDiaSyn,
http://scandiasyn.uit.no/)

If you are interested in participating in the seminar, please send an
email indicating your interest to Gunnar Hrafn Hrafnbjargarson
(g.h.hrafnbjargarson at ilf.uio.no). The deadline for registration is
November 1.
