Meeting Description:

A series of 20 short courses on various topics related to linguistic
diversity, taught by members of the Leipzig linguistics community.

The Leipzig linguistics community invites advanced students (Ph.D. or
M.A. level) in linguistics and related fields to attend this ten-day
event in March/April 2008. It is co-organized by linguists at the
University of Leipzig and at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology. The Spring School offers courses in different areas of
linguistics, which look at language from the point of view of
linguistic diversity (comparative syntax, areal typology, comparative
phonology, language contact, typological psycholinguistics). The
courses will be taught by linguists from the various Leipzig-based
institutions and visiting scientists currently working in Leipzig.
The participation fee is only EUR 35.

During the weekend between the two Spring School weeks, there will be
a conference on Scales in grammar and processing (see
http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~va/scales.html).

Organizers:

Prof. Martin Haspelmath (MPI-EVA)
Prof. Balthasar Bickel (U Leipzig)
