                          December 1998

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Oslo and the Nordic
Neurolinguistic Network are pleased to announce that a Nordic Research
Course, sponsored by the Nordic Academy for Advanced Study (NorFA):

                 Basic course in neurolinguistics

will be held at Sanner Hotell, Granavollen 3-5, 2750 Gran, Norway, June
11-15, 1999.

The Course will consist of three components:

(i) survey lectures by Dr. Susan Edwards (Department of Linguistic
Science, University of Reading), Dr. Heidi Hamilton (Department of
Linguistics, Georgetown University), Dr. Matti Laine (Department of
Psychology, Turku University), Professor Bruce Murdoch (Department of
Speech Pathology and Audiology, University of Brisbane);

(ii) seminars with individual presentations by the students and
post-paper discussions;

(iii) discussion sessions towards the end of a topic area, focusing on
the methodological and theoretical issues shared by the papers
presented.

Criteria for student selection in addition to those defined by NorFA
(with regard to country of origin, etc.) are:

(a) The participants should have a strong background in one or several
of the following disciplines or related areas: linguistics, psychology,
neurology, cognitive science, phonetics, logopaedics and/or special
education.

(b) The topic of the course (neurolinguistics) should occupy a
significant position in the PhD or post-doctorate studies or study
plans of the participants.

The number of student participants will be restricted to 20.

Pre-course Requirements in Addition to the General NorFA Requirements:

(a)  The applicants should send, together with their application, a 3-5
page long abstract of their work (planned or ongoing) in the topic area
of the course.
