About the Project

Project term: April, 2016–March, 2018

In this project, we gather researchers specializing in different languages. The participating researchers report on the reference grammars of the languages in their area of study, thereby sharing their knowledge with those studying different languages. We then discuss issues and methods regarding how we, as linguists, may best capture the overall grammar of a language.
