Formal Description of Slavic Languages: The Ninth Conference

This volume contains a selection of revised contributions to the 9th European Conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages. The authors apply recent formal models in linguistics to various subjects in several Slavic languages. The papers aim at proposing both descriptively and explanatorily adequate analyses, considering all linguistic levels and interfaces.

Uwe Junghanns is professor of Slavic Linguistics at the Slavic Department at the University of Göttingen. Dorothee Fehrmann, Denisa Lenertová and Hagen Pitsch hold research and teaching positions at the Slavic Department in Göttingen.
