LISSIM 8: Wh/ PHI
May 24 - June 6, 2014
Funded byCIIL and GLOW
This is the long-awaited moment for most applicants! This year, since we are running about 10 days late in our preparations for the school, we have decided to bring out 2 lists in a week -- today we are publishing the first list and depending upon certain factors (like confirmation failure, room availability, cancellations), we will bring out the 2nd list on April 25th, 2014; there will be a second list.
The break-up for various selection criteria employed were: past record (5); motivation/ reasons for attending the school (5); written essay (30 -- addressing the essay question asked (5), previous literature (5), data relevance (10), theoretical application (10)); and interview (60)
We apologise to those who would not have made it to the school this year and wish them luck in their career. We thankfully acknowledge all the applicants for their interest in LISSIM and hope they will continue to be interested in the formal properties of languages well after L8.
The first list of selected candidates declared today. Confirmation of participation sought latest by April 24, 2014; the 2nd list will be published on April 25, 2014.
Please note the following changes in the interview schedule. The candidates will be contacted through email with details

Please note the following announcements:
The deadline for the LISSIM 8 essay is now extended to 5th April, 2014, mid-night IST (Indian Standard Time), on popular deamands, as they say. However, applications received by tonight (the original deadline), will be processed and an early short-list will be published by the same date, i.e., the extended deadline of 5th April; this is to aid in visa and ticketing processes that overseas participants may have to undergo. Prospective participants who have already submitted their essays but who may wish to re-work on their essays may do so, just sent us an email withdrawing your submission for the time being.
Due to an unavoidadble delay, the deadline for the LISSIM 8 essay is 23rd march, 2014, mid-night IST (Indian Standar Time). Essay details posted as of today
As in the case of LISSIM7, we are applying fr fnding the School to CIIL, Mysore and GLOW.
Booking early is extremely important, there have been cases of both faculty and student missing a particular school because of not booking early enough. Booking usually open three months in advance, which means if you want to travel on May 22th, you must book your train tickets from Feb 22nd onwards, and usually within the first 2-3 days, all the berths in AC compartments fill up.

Since we are changing our venue after three years, not much is known about the ups and downs of this place, however, it is clear that it is quite up and cool!
I am writing this letter in support of the funding request by the organizers of LISSIM. I taught at LISSIM last year. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I am grateful to the Central Institute of Indian Languages for making the event possible with their funding. Read more
