Generative Grammar in Eastern Europe

[Mark Allen Peterson]

Like many anthropologists, I'm no particular fan of generative grammar.  For anyone who IS, or knows people who might be, or just is looking for a good excuse to see (the former) Yugoslavia, I've been asked to post the following.

Best,

Mark Allen Peterson

We kindly ask you to help us get the word out about our 8th Central
> European Generative Grammar Summerschool? As always, this is an
> entirely free school (no tuition fees), and this year the accomodation
> is even free for all. Your help is particularly appreciated this year,
> as we are trying to survive in the face of severe administrative
> difficulties. If you could pass this message on to your local contacts
> that we do not have access to (eg. departmental, regional or topical
> mailing lists, other local universities and departments, etc.), we
> would be most grateful.

> Thank you for your help! Michal Starke

> has both excellent researchers as teachers and is entirely free (no
> enrollement fees). This summer, the accomodation (hostel) is even free
> for everybody.

> Additionally, there are grants available to cover the travel costs of
> Eastern European students.

> To register, simply fill in the form at:

>  http://egg.auf.net/register.html
>
> The deadline for registration is the 15th May.
>
>
> The school will be held in Nis (Yugoslavia), during two weeks (23 July
> to 3 August), and is separated into two parallel teaching tracks:
>
> * one introduction track for people with little background in
>   (generative) linguistics
> * one medium/advanced track for people who already know the basics and
>   want to get into research topics.
>
> The school offers two weeks of intensive intellectual work in syntax,
> semantics and phonology (this summer has a strong morpho-phonological
> component), with the following teacher lineup:
>
> <Haike Jacobs, Jonathan Kaye, Tobias Scheer, Olga Tomic, Michal Starke.
> Klaus Abels, Arhonto Terzi, Ellie Boyadzeva, Luisa Marti, Orin Percus>
>
> Finally, an important aspect of this school is that it tries hard to
> keep a balance between intellectual life and fun, providing not only
> hard-working classes, but also hard-partying parties.
>
> People who register will be automatically subscribed to a discussion
> list about the school, where all further information will be
> sent. This allows you to keep up with the latest development in the
> region (e.g. security issues), with the potential changes in the
> programme, and to ask any question you might have.
>
> To learn more about the school, visit < http://egg.auf.net/ > or
> contact the organisers: Tobias.Scheer at unice.fr and
> Michal.Starke at lettres.unige.ch.

> Hope to see you soon!
