Linguistic Variation in South America
On February 20, LUCL and UiL-OTS co-organize a workshop on linguistic variation in South America in Leiden. The day will be organized as a collaboration between the CAPE
S-Nuffic project The effects of modification on referentiality, the ERC project The linguistic past of Mesoamerica and the Andes: a search for early migratory relations between North and South America, and the Department of Latin America Studies in Leiden.
Call for poster presentations
During the lunch break there will be a poster session. We welcome propositions for posters for the poster session on any topic that fits the theme of the conference. (Research) MA students and PhD students are specifically encouraged to present their research.
If you want to give a poster presentation, please send a title and a short abstract (about 100/200 words) to Jenny Doetjes before the twelfth of February (deadline extended).
If you want to attend the workshop, please inform us before February 15, so that we can make proper arrangements for lunch ( j.doetjes@hum.leidenuniv.nl).
