    BEGINNERS’ LINGUISTICS WORKSHOP

    The Department of Linguistics, University of Mumbai, is pleased to announce that


    the registration for the annual Beginners' Linguistics Workshop to be held during
    23-28 December is now open. The workshop will prepare school and college
    students for the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL).

    About IOL
    It is one of 12 International Science Olympiads. Students from 8th to 12th standard
    may participate in it. It involves solving the world’s toughest puzzles in language
    and Linguistics (for more information, see: http://linguistics.ucsc.edu/about/what-is-
    linguistics.html). India has been competing in the IOL since 2009 and over the years,
    has bagged a few silver and bronze medals and other accolades at the IOL. More
    information can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/paninilinguisticsolympiad/.

    Most importantly, solving these puzzles


     requires
    the students to apply nothing more than their abilities of logical reasoning, patient
    work and out-of-the-box thinking;
     and in return, offers
    the huge advantage of getting a glimpse into the inner workings of various languages
    and gaining a better understanding of language as a phenomenon.

    The workshop that we have organized is the first step in this direction. It will be
    followed by two phases of the Panini Linguistics Olympiad. See more information
    https://sites.google.com/site/paninilinguisticsolympiad/home/plo-2015.

    About the workshop-


    It offers the additional advantage of learning systematically how to analyze
    languages and introduces Linguistics as a discipline and various applications
    of it (for more information, see http://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/linguistics-
    profession).

    The participants will get to know intricacies of various languages and find out a few
    ways in which all the languages are similar to each other and a few aspects in which
    they differ from each other, giving them an edge in learning and working with a new
    language better.

    Who can participate : Anyone of and above the age of 13 years. Parents and
    teachers are encouraged to attend this workshop.

    Dates: 23rd to 28th December, 2014
