The Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences announces its next compact course. The series of compact courses offered by the institute is tailored towards the needs of advanced undergraduates and PhD students, but we welcome everyone with an interest in linguistics (linguistics, philosophers, psychologists, computer scientists).
This summers course is offered by Hans Kamp (IMS, Stuttgart University), who will give a lecture series with the title The Semantics of Tense and Aspect in a Dynamic Setting, between 2 and 6 June 2008.
The syllabus of the course can be found here.
The venue for the course is the Research Institute for Linguistics of HAS (Budapest, District 6, 33 Benczúr st.). The course will be held in the lecture hall on the ground floor.
The course will take place within the following time period: 2 and 6 June 2008, between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m daily.
Attendance is free, but participants are kindly requested to register a.s.a.p. by sending an e-mail to nyinfo@nytud.hu
Prerequisites for the course: some knowledge of logic and introductory semantics. A take home assignment will be given to those who want to check their progress, and to students from those Hungarian universities that have included this course into their autumn curriculum.
