Dear Linguists and Colleagues,
we kindly ask you to help us disseminate the information about
the 4th (free) Central European linguistic summer school. You
will find all the relevant information in the annoucment below.
Also: the most complete and up-to-date information about the school
will always be found at http://latl.unige.ch/lmc.
Central European Summer School in Generative Grammar
Olomouc - Czech Republic
28 July - 15 August 1997
A generative grammar summer school which is:
high level (teachers from leading research centres)
intensive (3 weeks of interactive learning and research)
very inexpensive (no fees at all, very low local living costs)
charming (small peaceful medieval city)
The summer school offers intensive discussions of generative
linguistics. It will feature syntax, phonology,
psycho-linguistics and semantics; in each case debating the
results of the latest research, current issues and open
problems. This will take the form of:
about 20 advanced seminars focussing on current research issues.
a core set of introductory overviews for each subdomain
The school is open to scholars from all over Europe - East and
West alike: it is cheap enough for everybody to attend, and it
also includes discussion of Germanic, Romance and Slavic
languages. Care has been taken to make it particularly suited to
eastern participants. Classes will be taught in English.
Application: deadline 15 May 1997 (see below for application
