Dear list members,

the Center for Postgraduate Education and Research on “Languages of  
Europe: Typology, History and Sociolinguistics” (LETiSS) ANNOUNCES its  
2nd International Spring School on

"Europe beyond Europe: new horizons on pidgins and creoles", to be  
held in Pavia (Italy), 18-22 April 2011.

The LETISS Center has been the first center in Italy (and in Europe)  
specifically dedicated to the linguistic situation of Europe,  
approached from a variety of perspectives. More information on the  
aims, the research topics and the activities of the Center can be  
found at the following URL: www.iusspavia.it/eng/LETiSS

The aim of the spring school is to enhance dialogue among young  
linguists interested in the topics announced in the title, under the  
guide of leading specialists. This is why the number of participants  
has been limited (see below), in order to facilitate interactions  
among them.
