BIP - Language Use and Linguistic Structure: Bringing Comparative and Empirical Studies Together

Brief description: The Blended Intensive Programme Language Use and Linguistic Structure: Bringing Comparative and Empirical Studies Together brings together experts in the field of linguistics from Germany (Friedrich Schiller University Jena), Hungary (University of Debrecen) and Czech Republic (Palacký University Olomouc), who will organize three specialized linguistic workshops intended for linguists and students of linguistics. There will also be two methodological lessons on empirical methods in linguistics. 
The whole event is coordinated and hosted by Palacký University Olomouc. The BIP programme is open to Czech nationals (academics and students from Palacký University as well as  other Czech universities), and international academics and students from countries associated to the Erasmus+ programme as well as other countries. The aim is to facilitate access to information and to state-of-the art research and methodologies in the three linguistic areas for the workshop participants and to enhance international cooperation and networking.  

Objectives: The workshops are intended for students of linguistics and academics in various stages of their careers (from those in the early stages to the established ones). The workshop organizers have experience with field work, computational methods, and experimental methods which they will share with the participants.  The participants in the early stages of their careers will benefit from the presence of experts with international renown and experience with various approaches and methodologies. The workshops will explore methodological innovation in the respective areas and their inter-disciplinary applications. Participants will have the opportunity of presenting their own research and getting feedback from the experts; junior member of audience will have the opportunity of learning of the best practice of presenting research and formulating feedback.

The methodological lessons are intended for students of linguistics (as an introduction to empirical methods in linguistic research) as well as academic staff (who can share their experience with teaching methodology of empirical research)
