Meeting Description:

The Department of Linguistics, University of Mumbai under the GIAN scheme is
organizing a Special Lecture Series on the topics in Syntax-Semantics of
Indo-Aryan languages. The Lecture Series will exert special emphasis on the
Western Indo-Aryan languages like Marathi, Gujarati, Kutchi, Konkani, Sindhi,
Punjabi among others. 

Many of these languages have not been adequately described in the light of
latest theoretical developments and tool-kits of Modern Linguistics. Detailed
description of phenomena in these languages may also challenge the existing
linguistic theories and lead to further theorization.

This workshop/lecture series will benefit from the expertise of Prof. Rajesh
Bhatt (UMass, Amherst, USA) who is the guest faculty in the workshop. The
topics to be covered in it include case, ergativity, non-nominative subjects,
agreement, correlatives, scrambling, tense-aspect, passivization and
causativization among others. It also includes assignments and
class-presentations by the participants of the work done by them during the
workshop.


Call for Papers:

Any student or young faculty in Linguistics holding or pursuing MA, M.Phil or
Ph.D. in Linguistics with special interest in the Syntax of Indo-Aryan
languages can apply for the Workshop. 

All aspiring participants must submit a statement of purpose for participating
in this lecture series in utmost 800-1000 words (excluding the references).
This statement must be submitted by e-mail to avinash at linguistics.mu.ac.in on
or before 5 of November, 2016. The selected participants will be intimated on
or before 8 of November, 2016.
