Lagodekhi 2016

Here’s spring, and here’s the first 2016 post:

The EGG will be held in the lovely natural resort of Lagodekhi at the foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, 160km from Tbilisi.

Accommodation will be all luxus for EGG standards: in hotels. But the price will be about the same as in previous years.

Teacher lineup to come soon, keep an eye on this page…

Registration open soon

Registration will start in the second half of May, and we will run the usual two rounds: first you register and provide a short self-description, then in June you confirm that you really will be in Brno. If you confirm and don’t come, you’ll be a rotten egg, and these don’t smell good.

Phonology lineup

To complete, here’s the belated phonology crew:

  • Phillip Backley (Tohoku Gakuin University, Japan)
  • Heather Newell (UQAM, Montreal)
  • Ewan Dunbar (EHESS, Paris)
  • Tobias Scheer (Nice)

Ph. Backley will focus on subsegmental structure (melody), while the others will talk about the interface with morpho-syntax (from different perspectives). Course abstracts to come…

org team

As you see the EGG website has moulted, and so has the EGG org team. The four of us now run the school: Sandhya Sundaresan (Leipzig), Markéta Ziková (Brno), Hedde Zeijlstra (Göttingen) and Tobias Scheer (Nice).

Keep an eye on the site, the teacher lineup for the 2015 school in Brno is to come soon…
