Focus: This intensive training program offers in-depth reflection on two fundamental pillars of linguistic research, namely (i) the rigorous construction of theoretical research questions and (ii) the informed selection of empirical methods to investigate linguistic data.
Guided by renowned experts, the summer school will cover a wide range of fields, including:
– Theoretical linguistics & history of linguistic ideas
– Corpus linguistics & data processing
– Cognitive linguistics, multimodality & language acquisition
– Experimental linguistics & methodology
By integrating insights from theoretical, empirical, experimental, and cognitive approaches, the Summer School offers participants a broad and critical perspective on linguistic methods and concepts. The goal is to provide intellectual and methodological tools to support and structure participants’ research in a stimulating, interdisciplinary, and collaborative learning environment.
The sessions will be led by renowned researchers specializing in complementary fields:
– Jean-Michel Fortis – CNRS HTL, Paris, France
– Gaëtanelle Gilquin – UCLouvain, Belgium
– Fanny Meunier – CNRS BCL, Nice, France
– Cornelia Müller – European University Viadrina, Germany
