[PLing] 2024 Online Course – Introduction to Columbia School Linguistics

[Stefan Michael Newerkla]

*2024 Course: Introduction to Columbia School Linguistics*

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to the *2024 course: Introduction to Columbia 
School Linguistics.*

The course will be held in six online sessions, on Thursdays 
10am-12:30pm (New York time), from October 10 to November 14.
This year’s instructors are Andrew McCormick, Daan van Soeren and 
Ludmila Novotny.

To register, please email ludmila at cslclass.org with your full name, 
affiliation, geographical location, and contact email address.

The course is particularly designed for
- New Columbia School fellows / seed grantees
- Senior undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics or related areas
- Scholars and professionals specializing in linguistics, but unfamiliar 
with the Columbia School framework

The Columbia School is a functionalist framework in which language is 
seen as a symbolic tool whose structure is shaped both by its 
communicative function and by the characteristics of its human users. 
Grammatical analyses account for the distribution of linguistic forms as 
an interaction between hypothesized linguistic meanings and pragmatic 
and functional factors such as inference, ease of processing, and 
iconicity. Phonological analyses explain the syntagmatic and 
paradigmatic distribution of phonological units within signals, also 
drawing on both communicative function and human physiological and 
psychological characteristics.

The language of the course is English. Certificates of completion will 
be issued.
We look forward to your participation in this year’s course! Feel free 
to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Ludmila Novotny
