Introduction to Columbia School Linguistics

Dates: 03-Oct-2023 - 28-Nov-2023
Location: New York, New York

Focus: We will be focusing on the main theoretical and methodological
concepts of the Columbia School of Linguistics, a functionalist
approach that aims to account for the distribution of grammatical and
lexical items in naturally-occurring discourse, based on the
understanding that language is fundamentally an instrument for human
communication, and that its characteristics are shaped by the physical
and cognitive capacities of its human users.
Minimum Education Level: BA

Special Qualifications:
The course is particularly designed for
-       New Columbia School fellows and seed grantees
-       Senior undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics or
related areas

the Columbia School framework

Tuesdays, 2 pm-4 pm (New York time), from October 3 to November 28.
This year’s instructors are Andrew McCormick, Daan Van Soeren and
