Summer School 'Cognitive and Functional Approaches to Language
Date: 09-Jun-2003 - 12-Jun-2003
Location: Rep. San Marino - Italy, San Marino
Contact: Paula Cenci

Meeting URL: http://www.unirsm.sm/dcom/2003/Functional/default.htm

Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics
Subject Language: English

Meeting Description: The School will examine two of the main
approaches to the study of language: functionalism and cognitivism, it
will analyze compatibility, analogies and possible differences. The
functionalist school, which dates back to the early historic
tradition, studies, since the beginning of the last century, the
relationship between form and linguistic function and proposes an
approach to language which is strictly linked to its use and context.
Cognitive linguistics is a more recent branch that developed in the
last 30 years within the North-American cognitive movement, some of
whose fundaments it will then criticize.  Cognitive linguistics also
focuses on the importance of the relation between form and function,
and it individuates in particular the cognitive schemes subjected to
thought, perception and language, which determine the linguistic form.
Unlike other theories that study language essentially as a formal and
autonomous process, both cognitive and functional linguistics strictly
correlate syntactic structure and semantic organization as dependant
one from the other, refusing the hypothesis of language as separated
and independent from other cognitive and perceptive mechanisms.  The
lecturers are: William Croft, Holger Diessel, Martin Haspelmath,
Michael Tomasello.  The course is open to students, teachers and
researchers. A maximum of 40 participants will be admitted.
Application forms should be sent by June 2, 2003.

Ten grants are available to cover part of accommodation costs and
tuition fees (grants do not include travel expenses). The application
deadline is May 20, 2003. All applicants should send their curriculum
vitae to the address below:

Preservation and Access Grants

National Endowment for the Humanities
The National Endowment for the Humanities is a
grant-making agency of the United States (U.S.) federal government
that supports projects in the humanities. U.S. nonprofit
associations, institutions, and organizations are eligible applicants.
NEH's Division of Preservation and Access supports projects that
will create, preserve, and make available cultural resources of
importance for research, education, and lifelong learning.  Projects
may encompass collections of books, journals, newspapers, manuscript
and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound
recordings, and objects of material culture held by libraries,
archives, museums, historical organizations, and other
repositories.

The division will be accepting applications in July 2003
for three of its funding categories.

1) Research and Development Grants support projects that address
issues of major significance to libraries, archives, and museums (such
as efforts that help establish standards or a consensus of best
practice for the use of digital technology to preserve or enhance
access to humanities resources).

The application deadline is July 1, 2003 for grants beginning January
2004.
