                          25 June - 3 August 2001
                    University of California-Santa Barbara

                  Associate Director: Masayoshi Shibatani

        Themes - Linguistic Diversity: How and Why Languages Differ

     Synchronic and Diachronic Aspects of Major Pacific Rim Languages

The Institute will offer basic and advanced courses in the core areas
of the discipline, including phonetics and phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics and pragmatics, discourse, language evolution and
change, and typology, as well as courses in language use, language and
culture, language acquisition, and literacy.  In keeping with the
focus on linguistic diversity, there are courses delving into the
special complexities of several typologically different language
families.  There will also be several sets of related courses which
constitute sub-institutes, organized around such topics as Minimalism,
Conversational Analysis, Teaching English as a Second Language,
Chinese corpus linguistics, Japanese linguistics, and Korean
linguistics. In addition, a rich selection of workshops and
conferences, some small and some large, will be held during the
Institute.
