CALL FOR PAPERS
FORMAL APPROACHES TO CELTIC LINGUISTICS
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Arizona is proud to
announce a special conference, funded by the National Science
Foundation*, on Formal Approaches to Celtic Linguistics. The focus of
this conference is on modern theoretical approaches to the Celtic
languages, with an emphasis on the following questions:
i) How does data from the Celtic languages, with their unique
typological properties, inform formal theories of grammar? What
challenges does this data pose to current understanding and how should
theories of grammar be modified to deal with the data from Celtic
languages?
ii) How do current advances in formal theories improve our
understanding of the grammar of Celtic languages?
iii) How can formal theoretical linguistics inform the documentation
of the endangered Celtic languages?
Confirmed Invited Speakers at the conference include:
David Adger, Queen Mary University, London
Anna Bosch, University of Kentucky
SJ Hannahs, Newcastle
Randall Hendrick, University of North Carolina
Mélanie Jouitteau, Université de Paris 7
James McCloskey, University of California, Santa Cruz
Máire Ní Chiosain, University College Dublin
Maggie Tallerman, Newcastle
Gillian Ramchand, University of Tromsø
… and others to be announced.
