let.uu.nl>CALL for PAPERS ON WH-MOVEMENT We are happy to announce the workshop "On Wh-movement", which will be jointly organized by the University of Leiden Centre for Linguistics (ULCL)and the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics (UiL-OTS). The workshop will take place on December 12-13 (Thursday-Friday) and will be preceded on Wednesday (December 11) by a tutorial on Chomsky's 1977 paper "On WH-movement" that appeared 25 years ago and was a major step in the development of a general theory on Wh-movement processes.

CoLi.Uni-SB.DE>Fifteenth European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information ESSLLI-2003 August 18-29, 2003, Vienna, Austria CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS -------------------------------------- The main focus of the European Summer Schools in Logic, Language and Information is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. Foundational, introductory and advanced courses together with workshops cover a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. ESSLLI-2003 is organised under the auspices of the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). The ESSLLI-2003 Programme Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 15th annual Summer School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance in the following fields: LANGUAGE & COMPUTATION LANGUAGE & LOGIC LOGIC & COMPUTATION In addition to courses and workshops there will be a Student Session. A Call for Papers for the Student Session will be distributed separately. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals should be submitted through a web form that will shortly be available through <http://www.folli.org>;. All proposals should be submitted no later than Wednesday July 17, 2002. Authors of proposals will be notified of the committee's decision no later than Wednesday September 18, 2002. Proposers should follow the guidelines below while preparing their submissions; proposals that deviate can not be considered. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION: Anyone interested in lecturing or organising a workshop during ESSLLI-2003, please read the following information carefully. ALL COURSES: Courses are taught by 1 or max. 2 lecturers. They typically consist of five sessions (a one-week course) or ten sessions (a two-week course). Each session lasts 90 minutes. Timetable for Course Proposal Submission: Jul 17, 2002: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 18, 2002: Notification Nov 15, 2002: Deadline for receipt of title, abstract, lecturer(s) information, course description and prerequisites Jun 2, 2003: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready course material FOUNDATIONAL COURSES: These are really elementary courses not assuming any background knowledge. They are intended for people to get acquainted with the problems and techniques of areas new to them. Ideally, they should allow researchers from other fields to acquire the key competences of neighbouring disciplines, thus encouraging the development of a truly interdisciplinary research community. Foundational courses may presuppose some experience with scientific methods in general, so as to be able to concentrate on the issues that are germane to the area of the course. INTRODUCTORY COURSES: Introductory courses are central to the activities of the Summer School. They are intended to equip students and young researchers with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques. Introductory courses in, for instance, Language and Computation, can build on some knowledge of the component fields; e.g., an introductory course in computational linguistics should address an audience which is familiar with the basics of linguistics and computation. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the level of the course as compared to standard texts in the area (if available). ADVANCED COURSES: Advanced courses should be pitched at an audience of advanced Masters or PhD students. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in some detail. WORKSHOPS: The aim of the workshops is to provide a forum for advanced Ph.D. students and other researchers to present and discuss their work. A workshop has a theme. At most one organiser is paid. The organisers should be specialists in the theme of the workshop and give a general introduction in the first session. They are also responsible for the programme of the workshop, i.e., for finding speakers. Each workshop organiser will be responsible for producing a Call for Papers for the workshop by November 15, 2002. The call must make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the LLI community. It should also note that all workshop contributors must register for the Summer School. A workshop consists of five sessions (a one-week workshop). Sessions are normally 90 minutes. Timetable for Workshop Proposal Submissions Jul 17, 2002: Proposal Submission Deadline Sep 18, 2002: Notification Nov 15, 2002: Deadline for receipt of Call for Papers (by ESSLLI PC chair) Dec 2, 2002: Workshop organizers send out (First) Call for Papers Mar 14, 2003: Deadline for Papers (suggested) May 2, 2003: Notification of Workshop Contributors (suggested) May 16, 2003: Deadline for Provisional Workshop Programme Jun 2, 2003: Deadline for receipt of camera-ready copy of Workshop notes Jun 2, 2003: Deadline for Final Workshop Programme FORMAT FOR PROPOSALS: The web-based form for submitting course and workshop proposals is accessible at <http://www.esslli.org/2003/submission.html>;. You will be required to submit the following information: * Name (name(s) of proposed lecturer(s)/organiser) * Address (contact addresses of proposed lecturer(s)/organiser; where possible, please include phone and fax numbers) * Title (title of proposed course/workshop) * Type (is this a workshop, a foundational course, an introductory course, or an advanced course?) * Section (does your proposal fit in Language & Computation, Language & Logic or Logic & Computation? name only one) * Description (in at most 150 words, describe the proposed contents and substantiate timeliness and relevance to ESSLLI) * External funding (will you be able to find external funding to help fund your travel and accommodation expenses? if so, how?) * Further particulars (any further information that is required by the above guidelines should be included here) FINANCIAL ASPECTS: Prospective lecturers and workshop organisers should be aware that all teaching and organising at the summer schools is done on a voluntary basis in order to keep the participants fees as low as possible. Lecturers and organisers are not paid for their contribution, but are reimbursed for travel and accommodation. Please note the following: In case a course is to be taught by two lecturers, a lump sum is paid to cover travel and accommodation expenses. The splitting of the sum is up to the lecturers. However, please note that the organisers highly appreciate it if, whenever possible, lecturers and workshop organisers find alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses. Workshop speakers are required to register for the Summer School; however, workshop speakers will be able to register at a reduced rate to be determined by the Organising Committee. Finally, it should be stressed that while proposals from all over the world are welcomed, the Summer School can in general guarantee only to reimburse travel costs for travel from destinations within Europe to Vienna. Exceptions will be made depending on the financial situation.
