Amazonicas II: phonology and grammar

Date: 24 – 28 November 2008

Place: Conference at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco – Recife, Brazil

Description: This conference is the second of a series of three meetings resulting from the cooperation initiative between the CELIA Paris, UFAM Manaus, Leiden University, and the VU University Amsterdam research centers. The themes to be discussed at the second meeting are ‘nominalization’ and ‘word-prosodic systems’.

Although the nature of the meeting is that of a seminar for which part of the contributors are individually invited, there is a space in the program for uninvited speakers, which will be selected by submitting a paper. In addition, the meeting is open for students and scholars that are interested in attending without presenting a paper.

  • Frantomé Pacheco (Universidade Federal do Amazonas, Manaus, Brazil)
