Course description:

The Summer School presents different views on grammaticalization and
illustrates how grammaticalization can be applied in morphology, word
order studies and syntax (with a focus on constructions). Referring to a
wide range of different languages, the lecturers, who are all leading
specialists in grammaticalization, will discuss fundamental issues of
grammaticalization on the basis of prevailing theories within the field.


 

Readings:

A selection of works on grammaticalization (about 300 pages) will be
distributed to the participants upon acceptance. Participants are
expected to read these works before the course. For additional readings
see the abstracts of the presentations. 

 

PhD project presentations:

The participating PhD students will have the opportunity to present
their own projects and discuss them with the lecturers and fellow
students. Participants should prepare a presentation of 20 minutes,
which will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
