LETiSS 2nd International Spring School 
Europe beyond Europe: new horizons on pidgins and creoles

2nd Call for Application

The Spring School will last one week, from Monday, 18 until Friday, 22 April
2011,  at the IUSS Institute in Pavia (viale Lungo Ticino Sforza 56, 27100
Pavia, Italy - www.iusspavia.it).  The aim of the school is to enhance 
dialogue among young linguists interested in the topics announced in the 
title, under the guide of leading specialists. This is why the number of 
participants has been limited (see below), in order to facilitate interactions 
among them. No tuition fee is required!!! LETiSS will even cover attendants' 
accommodation expenses!

20 advanced students in linguistics and related fields will be selected by the
Scientific Committee of the School. The main criterion will be the degree of
relatedness/pertinence of their research interests with the topics of the 
School. A certificate of participation will be given to all participants.
