Language Workshops

All sessions will be at the RCLT Reading Room unless otherwise specified.

The Research Centre for Linguistic Typology is pleased to announce the RCLT Language Workshops. These will be one-day workshops on one language each time. Every workshop will cover the sociolinguistic situation (speakers, regional and diachronic variation, multilingualism and language contact, etc.), the typological profile (outstanding features in the phonology, morphology, syntax, etc.), and basic conversational practice (what to say when meeting someone for the first time). From September, workshops will be from 10am-1pm (used to be 10am-4.30pm). The workshops will take place roughly every fourth Friday.

All are welcome.
