workshop at ALT IV

[P J KAHREL]

On 18th July, the day before the ALT IV conference in Santa«
Barbara, we have planned a workshop with the title«
'Functional Grammar and Language Typology'.«
This workshop will consist of several presentations by«
typologists who also work on the theory of Functional Grammar (FG).«
The general idea is to show that typology can profit from the«
availability of an encompassing linguistic theory, in our case«
FG, in order to generate interesting typological questions, to fit«
typological observations into a broader framework, and to try and find
more general explanations for typologies.«
We would appreciate it very much if our typological friends,«
present in Santa Barbara, would discuss our ideas and share their«
thoughts with us, in the wake of ALT IV itself.«
A more detailed programme will be made available in due time.«
