Linguists), Signe Ebeling (Contrastive Corpus Linguistics), Emiel Krahmer &

There will be in-depth courses on many other topics, ranging from language
evolution to pathology and from gesture to sign language typology. These will
be taught by Michael Dunn (Language Evolution), Scott Grimm (Quantitative
Semantics), Marion Elenbaas (Historical Syntax), Antje Orgassa (Language
Impairments across the life span), Luigi Rizzi (Cartography), Ruben van de
Vijver (Phonetics-phonology interface), Veronika Koller (Discourse analysis),
Heike Behrens (Input in First Language Acquisition), Jacomine Nortier (Aspects
of Multilingualism), Alan Cienki (Spoken Language and Gesture) and Roland Pfau
(Sign Language Typology).
