Dates: 29-Aug-2016 - 30-Aug-2016
Location: Vienna, Austria

Focus: The International Postgraduate Course on Functional Discourse Grammar (IPC-FDG-2016) will be held in Vienna, Austria, on 29 and 30 August 2016, preceding the International Conference on Functional Discourse Grammar. The aim of this site is to provide the participants with a first introduction to Functional Discourse Grammar, a typologically-based theory of language structure.
Minimum Education Level: MA


Description:
Objective:   
This intensive course on the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar will be
held during the days preceding the International Conference on Functional
Discourse Grammar to enable linguists unfamiliar with the theory to prepare
for participation in the conference. The course is being organized with
doctoral students in mind.

Venue:   
IPC-FDG-2016 will take place at the University of Vienna, Department of
English and American Studies, University Campus, Hof 8.3, Spitalgasse 2, 1090
Vienna.

Staff:   
The course will be taught by Kees Hengeveld (University of Amsterdam) and J.
Lachlan Mackenzie (VU University Amsterdam).

Course Material:   
Keizer, Evelien (2015). A Functional Discourse Grammar for English: a
textbook. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Programme:   
During the course the various levels of analysis used in FDG will be explained
and illustrated on the basis of the textbook on FDG by Keizer mentioned above.
Students are assumed to have read the book before the course. After a review
of the theory as a whole and discussion of some selected exercises from the
textbook, a number of examples (from English as well as other languages) will
be analyzed during the final afternoon so as to develop some analytical skills
in using the tools offered by FDG.
