ALI 2006 is a selection of 12 intensive courses presented by world experts in
their fields. It's a unique opportunity for graduate students, advanced
undergraduates, professional linguists, and language professionals to upgrade
their knowledge and skills in key areas of linguistics.

Many courses in ALI 2006 are on the theme 'Language and Cognition', while others
focus on language typology, acquisition, and aspects of linguistic theory.

Each course consists of five 90 minute sessions, running Monday through Friday.

maximum of four courses. Confirmed topics and presenters are as follows.
