FOSSSIL announces the 1st LISSIM to take place in Kausani March 26th to April

the Minimalist program, like Remnant Movement, Head versus Phrasal Movement,
Topic and Focus effects as a result of movement, among others. The last day of
the School will be devoted to a day-long conference on the topic "Spec and Head/
Spec or Head?"

The teaching will consist of the following faculty who are established experts
in the above topics:

-	Ian Roberts, University of Cambridge
-	KA Jayaseelan, CIEFL, Hyderabad (retd.)
-	Anders Holmberg, University of Newcastle upon Tyne
-	Nomi Erteschik-Shir, Ben Gurion University
-	Anoop Mahajan, UCLA (not confirmed)

their application not exceeding 500 words on the status of specifiers and heads
in the Minimalist Program, with specific attention to the possibility or
impossibility of reduction of one to the other.
