Meeting Description: 

The Center for Postgraduate Education and Research on 'Languages of Europe: Typology, History and Sociolinguistics' (LETiSS) ANNOUNCES its 2nd International Spring School on

'Europe beyond Europe: New Horizons on Pidgins and Creoles', to be held in Pavia (Italy), 18-22 April 2011.

The aim of the spring school is to enhance dialogue among young linguists interested in the topics announced in the title, under the guide of leading specialists. This is why the number of participants has been limited (see below), in order to facilitate interactions among them.
