da Bahia, Av. Barão de Jeremoabo, 147, Campus Universitário de Ondina,

The preconference course on FDG, on 24-25 July, prepares the students for
their participation in the conference and is aimed at graduates and
postgraduates. The course will be taught in English by Kees Hengeveld
(University of Amsterdam), Evelien Keizer (University of Vienna), and J.
Lachlan Mackenzie (VU University of Amsterdam).

Introdução preliminar à Gramática Discursivo-Funcional (23 July) is a preamble

Preconference Course.
