5th Central European
Summer School in Generative Grammar
Debrecen - Hungary
3 - 21 August 1998
Under the auspices of
- GLEE (Generative Linguistics in Eastern Europe) and
- GLOW (Generative Linguistics in the Old World)
A generative grammar summer school which is:
. high level (teachers from leading research centres)
. intensive (3 weeks of interactive learning and research)
. very inexpensive (no fees at all, very low local living costs)
. charming (a university town with an exciting history and
a peaceful campus in the middle of a small forest)
The summer school offers intensive discussions of generative
linguistics. It will feature syntax, phonology, psycho-
linguistics and semantics; in each case debating the results
of the latest research, current issues and open problems. This
will take the form of:
* about 20 advanced seminars focussing on current research
issues.
* a general introduction to generative linguistics as well
as a core set of introductory overviews for each subdomain.
The school is open to students and scholars from all over
the world - East and West alike: it is cheap enough for
everybody to attend, and it also includes discussion of
Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages. Care has been
taken to make it particularly suited to Eastern European
participants. Classes will be taught in English.
