This page contains useful information about the location and programme for the LinC summer school. The programme information only lists what will be offered (actual course titles may change). Summary descriptions of the content and the scheduled timetable will follow later, probably in August.
Programme (scheduled timetable to follow closer to the event)
The overall programme for the summer school has been designed to offer lectures in the morning sessions followed by more practical and active workshops or seminars in the afternoon. Most lectures have been paired with a corresponding workshop but this is not always the case. The lecture sessions offered by our special guests (Michael Halliday, Ruqaiya Hasan and Sydney Lamb) are plenary and so all participants will attend these. The corresponding workshops, however, are attached to a particular course (introductory or advanced). What you will find below are the titles and types of the sessions being offered in each programme. There is some overlap in the sense that some session are open to all participants, irrespective of what course you are following. These are identified by an asterisk (*). More detail, including summary descriptions for each session will be sent to you in August along with the timetable. The programme will also include the Poster presentations. Abstracts and details will follow.
Introductory
Programme
The Introductory course is intended for those with no or relatively
little previous experience (i.e. not quite ready to take on theoretical
issues or challenging analytical problems). It is meant to give
you a good, intensive foundation in core SFL including the
lexicogrammar (both semantic and structural), phonology, intonation,
and information structure.

Literature, Ruqaiya Hasan

challenging and thought provoking. A firm understanding of core SFL is
