International Workshop

Formal models of linguistic diversity

Trieste, October 12-13, 2007

 

 

The workshop, jointly held as the result of a cooperation project by the Universities of Utrecht, Trieste and Verona, seeks to offer the opportunity for scholars in different branches of Linguistics to meet and discuss some of the most recent developments and research trends concerning the study of linguistic diversity in space and time, with the aim of fostering an innovative and productive collaboration.

The workshop is meant to address some of the key problems of theoretical linguistics, crosscutting the synchronic and diachronic dimensions, such as the nature of linguistic variation, the validity of parametric approaches and the possible alternatives, the application of biological models to the study of language evolution, language transmission and language classification, the role of acquisitional mechanisms in language change, the computational modeling of linguistic diversity, the interplay between different modules of linguistic knowledge in creating the space of linguistic variation.
