Subject: 2024 Course: Introduction to Columbia School Linguistics


Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to the 2024 course: Introduction to
Columbia School Linguistics.

The course will be held in six online sessions, on Thursdays
10am-12:30pm (New York time), from October 10 to November 14. This
year’s instructors are Andrew McCormick, Daan van Soeren and Ludmila
Novotny.

To register, please email ludmila at cslclass.org with your full name,
affiliation, geographical location, and contact email address.

The course is particularly designed for
- New Columbia School fellows / seed grantees
- Senior undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics or related
areas
- Scholars and professionals specializing in linguistics, but
unfamiliar with the Columbia School framework

The Columbia School is a functionalist framework in which language is
seen as a symbolic tool whose structure is shaped both by its
communicative function and by the characteristics of its human users.
Grammatical analyses account for the distribution of linguistic forms
as an interaction between hypothesized linguistic meanings and
pragmatic and functional factors such as inference, ease of
processing, and iconicity. Phonological analyses explain the
syntagmatic and paradigmatic distribution of phonological units within
signals, also drawing on both communicative function and human
physiological and psychological characteristics.

The language of the course is English. Certificates of completion will
be issued.

We look forward to your participation in this year’s course! Feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Ludmila Novotny
