Prof. Dr. Anna Panayotou-Triantaphyllopoulou und Dr. Stephanos Matthaios,

Während die vorangegangene SGdS-Tagung
einem speziellen Themenkreis gewidmet war, ist das Thema des XVII. Internationalen
Kolloquiums des SGdS wieder so weit gefasst, dass es für alle sprachwissenschaftsgeschichtlichen
Studien offen ist. Auch Beiträge zur Antiken Gram-matikographie sind
selbstverständlich willkommen. Zudem ist eine Nachbesprechung bzw.
Weiterführung des Workshops "Die Kategorie ‘Adverb’ in der europäischen
Grammatiko-graphie" geplant, der auf dem XVI. Internationalen Kolloquium
des SGdS stattgefunden hat.
Von den angegebenen 3 Tagen sind der 11. und
12. Februar für die wissenschaftliche Arbeit vorgesehen, während
für den 13. Februar, einem Sonntag, eine Exkursion zu einigen ausgewähl-ten
Monumenten der griechischen Antike auf dem Plan steht. Um den Teilnehmer-kreis
so beschränkt zu halten, dass das Kolloquium durchgehend als Plenarveranstaltung
durch--geführt werden kann, können maximal 16 Vorträge angenommen
werden. Es empfiehlt sich daher, sich möglichst bald unter Angabe
des Themas und mit einem Abstract von ca. einer halben Seite bei den Organisatoren
anzumelden. Letzter Termin für die Anmeldung ist der 31. August 2004.
Vortrags- und Diskussionssprachen sind Deutsch,
Englisch und Französisch. Eine Teilnahme-gebühr wird angesichts
der anfallenden Reisekosten nicht erhoben (ein Flug mit Eurocypria von
Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg oder Hannover nach Nicosia kostet derzeit
etwa 210 Euro). Nähere Informationen zu Anreise und Unterkunft werden
den Teilnehmern nach der Anmeldung mitgeteilt.
