The admission to the School is highly competitive and since the number of

apply for membership to FOSSSIL by writing an email of intention to
secretaryfosssil.in.
Identify, describe, and attempt to explain one instance of variation in a
syntactic construction in your language/speech community.Discuss the
challenge it poses to either existing analyses of the linguistic construction
or to general theoretical formulations. Outline an analysis that would
reconcile these challenges. Be sure to:
* Describe the exact type of the variation -- does it relate to LF or PF or
to the transformational engine?
* Identify the source of the variation -- dialectal/idiolectal/social or is
it based on register/discourse context/pragmatic, etc.?
We will evaluate entries for originality and novelty, so you are advised not
to replicate standard analyses of textbook examples of parametric variation.
Entries must not be more than 2 A4 pages long, and typeset in a font no less
than 11 pt in size.Entries must be submitted by March 5th at 5 pm. Include a
brief bio-data, along with a brief resume that lists the courses in syntax and
semantics you have taken, plus a brief write-up of your research and/or reading
activities in the last year. A recommendation from your supervisor or your MA
syntax teacher must be attached with your email.
