International Summer School on Typology and Lexis (TyLex)

Host Institution: National Research University Higher School of Economics

Website: https://ling.hse.ru/en/tylex/

Dates: 02-Sep-2017 - 08-Sep-2017

Focus: This summer school will explore different aspects of lexical typology, including lexicon-grammar interface, ways of describing lexicon cross-linguistically, experimental approaches to the typology of lexicon, multilingual lexicography, sign language typology, diachronic analysis of semantic shifts. The students will be able to take away a basic understanding of different aspects of world lexical systems, as well as different approaches to cross-linguistic analysis of lexicon.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum

Description:
Word is one of the most vague and ill-defined concepts in linguistics. It
comprises both a Chinese monosyllable and an Circassian polysynthetic
construction with dozens of morphemes; a phonetic unity in spoken languages
and a combination of signs and gestures in sign languages; a semantic network
of several meanings (not always close to each other) and a set of
morphological and syntactic properties. It is also the most rapidly changing
entity of a language.
The International Summer School on Typology and Lexicon is focused on
different approaches to word with the special emphasis on meaning. Topics of
the School cover a broad range of subjects relevant to the study of lexical
semantics and lexical typology. The School invites international scholars and
students. In addition to the main program we organize Young Linguists'
International Conference with poster presentations.
