This year’s HPSG conference will take place in Bucharest. It will host two talks that are based on long-standing cooperations of members of the IEAS-linguistics department with other partners:
Monica-Mihaela Rizea (Bucharest) & Manfred Sailer: Representing scales. Degree result clauses and emphatic negative polarity items in Romanian
Gert Webelhuth & Olivier Bonami (Paris): Syntactic haplology and the Dutch proform ‘er’
Mily Crevels (Leiden) will be a guest at the IEAS June 11 & 12. She will present part of her work on indigenous languages in South America in Manfred’s class Introduction to Linguistics 2. The talk will be particularly suited for students, as it does not presuppose prior knowledge on the topic.
South American indigenous languages: The importance of language documentation
