Limits of Variability in Language

Host Institution: Universität Potsdam
Coordinating Institution: Universität Potsdam
Website: http://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/sfb1287/summer-school-limits-of-variability.html

Dates: 18-Jun-2018 - 22-Jun-2018

Focus: The summer school will bring together leading international experts from different subfields of linguistics, covering the span from modern sociolinguistics, via dialect research, to grammar theory and the formal study of African languages. The school’s central topic is the empirical study and theoretical modelling of variability and its constraints at various levels of language. The more practical objective of the school is to bring together graduates with different empirical, methodological, and theoretical backgrounds, and to create a platform for mutual exchange and joint learning.
