Hello,
My interest coming to EGG summer school is provoked by my love and desire to study language structure. I am a graduate student and have linguistic background (familiar with basic linguitics principles and theories). Last summer I also enjoyed Summer School at the NY-St. Petersburg Institute of Cognitive and Cultural Science taking classes in generative syntax. So now I have pretty nice generative linguistic fundamentals and I feel that I should start to work on a real project doing PhD course. My primary interests are syntax and case studies. I also enjoy study of phonology interactions with syntax. My fellow student, Pavel Rudnev, has recommended EGG as one of the best opprotunities to get to know modern ideas and generate thoughts. That is why, I believe EGG school will help me to finalize thesis idea and probably generate several directions to work on.
Thank you a lot for your time considering my application. Hope, I will be given a place.
Best Regards,
Elena Chernetsova |
