Meeting Description:
The Heidelberg Symposium is one of a series of
conferences on discourse markers in Romance
languages (Madrid, 2010; Buenos Aires, 2011;
Campinas, 2012) and aims to build on the
previous events. With its contrastive focus,
the symposium serves as a platform for
internationally renowned linguists and
particularly for young researchers to exchange
views and ideas and to broaden their research
perspectives.
With special reference to discourse particle
research, the conference will be an opportunity
to look at the findings provided so far by
contrastive linguistics and related
disciplines. The following plenary speakers
have already confirmed their attendance:
Prof. Karin Aijmer, Göteborgs Universitet
