    Annoucing the free/alternative/happy Eastern Generative Grammar summerschool:

    7th Central European Summer School in Generative Grammar

    Blagoevgrad - Bulgaria 31 July - 11. August 2000

    After Olomouc-Debrecen-Plovdiv, this year's egg school will be in Blagoevgrad (Bulgaria), 31 July to 11 August. As always it is entirely free; and it has a particularly enticing roster of teachers:

    David Pesetsky (MIT), Orin Percus (Milano), Michal Starke (Geneva), Irina Sekerina (Rutgers), Stephen Neale (Rutgers), Peter Ludlow (Suny), Winfried Lechner (Tubingen), Jeffrey King (UCDavis), Katarina Hartman (UFrankfurt), Gienek Cyran (Lublin), Michael Brody (UCL/Budapest), Daniel Buhring (UCSantaCruz), Cedric Boeckx (UConn), Klaus Abels (UConn)

    The school features both an intro-track, with 11 topical introductions (syntax, semantics, phonology, philosophy of language, psycholinguistics), and an advanced-track with 12 seminars + daily intensive discussion-sessions (the complete list of classes is at the end of the message). All the relevant info, forms for applications, news, etc. is at:

    http://coolschool.auf.net/ (For more information you can contact: starkeuni2a.unige.ch)

    Here are some keypoints:

    -> Blagoevgrad is a small and charming university-town in Bulgaria, easily reachable, just 1h south of Sofia.

    -> There is a sizeable amount of grants available to cover travel and hotel charges of people from Central/Eastern Europe.

    -> the registration deadline is: 15 May 2000, with the registration form at: http://coolschool.auf.net/apply.html

    -> the school has a tradition of great fun on top of intensive intellectual life. And we intend to maintain that this year ;-)

    See you there!

    Acknowledgements: The egg school is organised by the Blue Twin Society + GLEE, and it is most greatful to the American University of Blagoevgrad (AUBG) and other sponsors for their financial support.
