Meeting Description: 

LISSIM is a highly successful annual event in the Linguistics calendar, 
where a group of very committed individuals discuss formal, theoretical 
aspects of various syntactic and semantic issues of a number of 
languages (10-15) in workshop mode as well as through classroom 
teaching. Student presentations and individual meetings with renowned 
faculty are other regular features of the School. For obvious reasons, 
admission to the School is highly competitive. 

The admission to the School is highly competitive and since the 
number of student participants is limited to 20 (MA-2, MPhil-6, PhD-
10), prospective participants are therefore requested to apply as soon 
as possible. Students from India are requested to apply for 
membership to FOSSSIL by writing an email of intention to 
secretary at fosssil.in. All prospective students for the School are 
requested to send an email to the same address as per the schedule 
below:
