dear colleagues, this year's installment of the annual series of research workshops organised by the Arbeitsgruppe Historische Linguistik at Freie Universität Berlin will focus on a topic that is particularly relevant to linguists working on german - we will discuss a grammar-theoretical problem using data predominantly from german and closely related languages: "Köpfigkeit und/oder grammatische Anarchie" as always, participation is free. so, if you happen to be in the area, do come along and join the discussion. - if you'd like to wear a specially designed name tag at the event, you should send us a message at <[log in to unmask]> by may 8th. further information on the workshop can be obtained here: <http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/v/koepfigkeit/index.html> horst and while we're at it: forecast: a book resulting from a previous workshop on 'germanic genitives' will appear later this year... --------- Prof. Dr. Horst Simon Historische Sprachwissenschaft Institut für Deutsche und Niederländische Philologie Freie Universität Berlin Habelschwerdter Allee 45 D-14195 Berlin Germany Büro: JK31/235 Telefon: +49-30-83855478 Sekretariat: +49-30-83860878, [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/we04/institut/mitarbeiter/simon/index.html
