Closing Conference 2021 | University of Tübingen

Closing Conference of the SFB 833

Public part: Tue & Wed, 02-03 March 2021, 18-20 h

Academic part: Thur & Fri, 04-05 March 2021

After twelve successful years of intense research, funding of the SFB 833 will end in summer 2021 – and we would like to say goodbye in a memorable way! Unfortunately, the pandemic does not allow for this to happen in the originally planned way... Still, we would like to do our best to make our closing conference a total success online!

Our online conference will consist of two parts:

The public part aims at a broader, non-academic audience. We would like to show what linguistic research looks like and what kind of results our SFB has accumulated.

Public Part - "Linguistics for everyone"

The public part of our closing conference consists of two sections:

Interactive quiz with competition

Here you can test your knowledge on language and linguistics; some of the questions come directly from the research of our projects. Solutions and explanations are presented after the questions.
