Levels of Analysis in the History of Indo-European Languages

The Universities of Napoli 'L'Orientale', Pavia, Roma, Siena 'Università

joint National Research Project 'Levels of Analysis in the History of
Indo-European Languages', co-funded by the Italian Ministry of University
and Scientific Research and directed by prof. Giorgio Banti, in Trieste
next May. 

Since one of the aims of the conference is to integrate the project's
results obtained by the Italian research units within a larger
international network, approximately 8 presentation slots will be from foreign institutions proposing theoretically significant contributions to the history of Indo-European languages in one or more of the following areas:

Phonology
Morphology
Syntax and information structure
Vocabulary
