NJU-UU Linguistics Seminar in 2010

The China Centre for Linguistic and Strategic Studies (CCLASS) in cooperation with the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS, the Netherlands, will host a seminar on "Research Methods in Linguistics" at Nanjing University from April 23 to April 29 in 2010. Five professors from Utrecht University, Nanjing University, York University and Yuan Ze University will give lectures at the Seminar and there will be tutoring sessions in English and in Chinese.

April 23 Morning: Opening Ceremony

April 23 ～ April 28: Lectures and Tutorials

April 29: Closing Ceremony

 

 2. Speakers and Introductions

 

 

 Martin Everaert

     Martin Everaert is Professor of Linguistic and director of the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS. He works primarily on the syntax-semantics interface (anaphora: reflexives, reciprocals), and the lexicon-syntax interface (idioms/collocations, and argument structure).

      His books include The Blackwell Companion to Syntax, I-V, Blackwell (co-edited with Henk van Riemsdijk, 2006), The Unaccusativity Puzzle: Explorations of the Syntax-Lexicon Interface, Cambridge University Press (co-edited with A. Alexiadou and E. Anagnostopoulou, 2004), Idioms: Structural and Psychological Perspectives, Lawrence Erlbaum Ass. (co-edited with E. van der Linden, A. Schenk, and R. Schreuder, 1995).

      He is, among others, on the editorial boards of Linguistic Inquiry (MIT Press) and the Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics (Springer).

    Course Description: In this course, linguistic variation across human languages is studied from two comparative perspectives, a macro-comparative (‘typology’) and a micro-comparative perspective (‘dialectology’), with a strong focus on the former, typology.

     Students are introduced into the field of language typology/macro variation, the systematic study of the similarities and differences between the world’s more than 6000 natural languages. It searches for universal properties or systematic patterns of variation in morphological or syntactic aspects of languages, and to classify variation along genetic, areal or structural lines. In the study of micro variation one focuses on the study of language systems that are very similar, such as closely related languages, or dialects of the same language.

     Human languages appear on the surface to be very different from one another. But closer examination reveals that languages also share fundamental properties, and differ in systematic ways. In this course we will identify and study some of these universal properties of language, and how we can approach the problem of language diversity. We will explore possible reasons for the existence of language types and linguistic universals.

     Methods of explanation in cross-linguistic research will be discussed, and the way a database of structural (phonological, grammatical, lexical) properties of languages can be gathered, and the problems that we are confronted with in doing so will be solved.

 

Xu Daming

     Xu Daming is Professor of Linguistics, School of Liberal Arts, Nanjing University. He is both the director of the China Center for Linguistic and Strategic Studies and the Sociolinguistics Laboratory of Nanjing University. His research mainly focuses on sociolinguistics and language planning.

    Course Description: This lecture is made up of three mini-lectures: Speech Community Theory, Urban Language Survey and Language Economics. Speech Community Theory is to explain the communitarian nature of language. Urban Language Survey responds to the changing empirical basis of linguistics due to modernization. Language Economics provides tools of analysis for economic values of language and for effectiveness of language planning. The three mini-lectures emphasize theory, empiricism and application respectively but are all mutually referable and supportive.

 

 

Wang Hsu (H. Samuel Wang)

       Wang Hsu is Professor of English and Linguistics at the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics, Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. He is currently the chairperson of the department. His main research interest is experimental phonology.

    Course Description: The lecture will introduce the audience to the rationale of doing experiments in linguistics, particularly phonology. We will explain why linguistic theories need to be experimentally validated. In the tutorial we will discuss the experimental paradigms that have been used and what kinds of insights they have revealed.

 

 

Hans Van de Velde

     Hans Van de Velde is Lecturer in Sociolinguistics at Utrecht University, where he teaches courses in sociolinguistics, language variation and change, language contact, multilingualism, research methodology in linguistics, and language policy and planning. His research mainly focuses on phonetic variation and change and the patterns of convergence and divergence in the Dutch language area.

      He is also the coordinator of the network on Industrialization, Language Contact and Identity Formation in China and Europe.

    Course Description: In this seminar he will briefly introduce the construction, administration and processing of questionnaires in sociolinguistic research. Special attention will be paid to the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the Internet for data collection.

 

 

James Anthony Walker

     James Walker is Associate Professor of Linguistics, Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics of York University. He is Associate Editor of Language Variation and Change, Member in Editorial Board of Canadian Journal of Linguistics. He teaches the following courses: Sociolinguistics: Language Variation and Change, Bilingualism: A Sociolinguistic Approach, Canadian English, Research in Sociolinguistic Variation and Change.

      Course Description: This lecture offers an introduction to and overview of the analysis of linguistic variation and change, with a specific focus on the conditioning of variation by language-internal factors.  Examples are drawn from a variety of phonological and grammatical variables in English and other languages.  Some attention is given to the application of the variationist method to linguistic theory.
