Nordic-Baltic Course on Morphology:

A NorFA (Nordic Academy of Advanced Study) Research Course to be held at the University of Tartu (Estonia), June 12-19, 2000

This eight-day course will consist of three components:

(a) survey lectures given by four invited speakers: Raimo Anttila (UCLA) Berndt Heine (K`ln) Urpo Nikanne (Oslo) Andrew Spencer (Essex), (b) student presentations (oral and poster), and (c) general discussion sessions highlighting on the methodological and theoretical issues shared by the studies presented.

In addition to the general student selection criteria defined by NorFA (in regards to country of origin, etc.) the topic of the course should occupy a significant position in the PhD or post-doctorate studies or study plans of the participants. The number of student participants will be restricted to 24.

For the funding agency, NorFA, and their general student selection criteria, see http://www.norfa.no (the 2000 Brochure is expected to appear on this site in January 2000).
