Summer School on the Syntax of Copular Sentences in Semitic Languages

The school is mainly intended for MA and PhD students with a background in formal grammar who have a particular interest and/or are speakers of a Semitic language. The school is aimed to be attractive to linguists interested in (micro)comparative syntax and syntactic.

This intensive program provides students with a background in the formal syntax of Semitic languages (mainly contemporary Arabic dialects), and develops collaborative micro-comparative research on some specific topics. The program offers classes both in formal syntax and relevant related topics, taught by a team of expert linguists, and guided field work sessions with a specific focus on the micro-comparison of different semitic languages, from well-documented to lesser-known varieties of Arabic, as well as of Hebrew.
