Meeting Description: 

The first edition of Research Techniques and Approaches: New Journeys in
Linguistics (RTANJ Linguistics I) will take place July 6-9, 2017 in the Rtanj
mountains in Central Serbia. One main theme of the meeting is to formulate
challenges to other disciplines to increase the capacity for interdisciplinary
research. Our core topics are syntax, semantics and their various interfaces,
but other topics are welcome as well, since this is meant to be a general
meeting for linguists. We are particularly interested in discussing methods in
linguistics and furthermore encourage the presentation of work in progress and
crazy or bold ideas that might not get discussed at other conferences and
workshops. 
The general format is such that we will have talks with ample time for
discussion (at least 40+20 minutes) in the morning and evening, and that
during the day there will be time to discuss ideas in a less formal setting,
possibly also while hiking in the mountains. Furthermore, the general idea is
that people with funding pay more than people without funding, so that the
former partially fund the latter, but even then the overall expenses will
remain relatively modest for all.
