Introduction to Nordlyd 31: The Proceedings of the 19th Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics

Abstract

This special five-volume edition is both Nordlyd number 31 and the Proceedings for the Nineteenth Scandinavian Conference of Linguistics. Here I provide a little background for the conference and the Proceedings. SCL 19 was held in Tromsø on January 10–12, 2002, under the auspices of the Nordic Association of Linguists (NAL) and with support from the Nordic Academy for Advanced Study (NorFA), the University of Tromsø, the Faculty of Humanities, and the English Department at the University of Tromsø. The Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL) also contributed to the production of this Proceedings.
