Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Meeting Description:
The workshop, jointly held as the result of a cooperation project by the
Universities of Utrecht, Trieste and Verona, seeks to offer the opportunity for
scholars in different branches of linguistics to meet and discuss some of the
most recent developments and research trends concerning the study of linguistic
diversity in space and time, with the aim of fostering an innovative and
productive collaboration.
The workshop is meant to address some of the key problems of theoretical
linguistics, crosscutting the synchronic and diachronic dimensions, such as the
nature of linguistic variation, the validity of parametric approaches and the
possible alternatives, the application of biological models to the study of
language evolution, language transmission and language classification, the role
of acquisitional mechanisms in language change, the computational modeling of
linguistic diversity, the interplay between different modules of linguistic
knowledge in creating the space of linguistic variation.
