FOSSSIL announces the 4th LISSIM to take place in Kausani June 10-30, 2008, in the lap of the gorgeous Kumaun Hills, India. Overlooking the highest peak on the Indian side, Nanda Devi (7820m), and several other peaks including the famous, Trishul (7120m), the Summer School venue is ideal for communal living and learning, devoid of the usual distractions of a city, town or even a touristy hill station.

The themes for the 4th LISSIM are as follows:

• Topics in DP Syntax and Semantics
• Topics in Relative Clause Syntax and Semantics
• Presupposition and Local Context

   

The teaching faculty will consist of the following established experts in formal linguistics topics

• David Adger, University of London, Queen Mary, UK
• Tanmoy Bhattacharya, University of Delhi, India
• Hagit Borer, University of Southern California,  USA
• Guglielmo Cinque, University of Venice, Italy
• M.T. Hany Babu, University of Delhi, India
• Ayesha Kidwai, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India
• Guiseppe Longobardi, University of Trieste, Italy
• Sundar Sarukkai, National Institute of Advanced Studies, India
• Philippe Schlenker, Insitut Jean-Nicod, France

Given the above faculty list and popularity of the themes, the admission to the School is likely to be highly competitive and since the number of student participants is limited to 20, prospective participants are therefore requested to apply as soon as possible. Students from India are requested to apply for membership to FOSSSIL by writing an email of intention to secretary@fosssil.in. All prospective students for the School are requested to send an email to the same address with the following information latest by 15th December, 2008:

The registration fee of Rs. 5500 ($350 for students from outside India) will cover accommodation (twin sharing), food and study material for 21 days of the School.
