đź“Ś What is the time commitment?
Seminars meet 5 times over two weeks, either Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, 9:00 am–11.50 am (NY time) a.k.a. 4.30 pm–6.50 pm (Eastern European time). After the seminars, you are warmly invited to come to our Distinguished Linguists’ Lectures and Global Solidarity Lectures, which are open to everyone.
đź“Ś What are the language requirements?
The language of instruction is English. That said, the NYI community is completely international and there is no need to be perfectly fluent in English in order to have a fulfilling NYI experience. We advise a B2+ level for our participants.

This course reacts to the ongoing and devastating genocide in Gaza, asking students to consider its connection with a broad history of global, military-imperial forces. Students will reflect on the idea of a "world-system", a concept we inherit from Immanuel Wallerstein, and consider the "combined and uneven development" of state power; and how the patterns of dispossession and neocolonialism that have shaped Palestinian history fit into this historical structure. As such, we will think of Palestinian Literature as world literature, in that it indexes or depicts where and how these forces come into contact.

The goal of this class is to elucidate the relationships between language (signed or spoken) and gesture. Does gesture help us learn? Can gesture express things that language doesn’t? Do signers gesture? We will discuss these questions in this course, co-taught by researchers from Susan Goldin-Meadow Lab at the University of Chicago. (Nina Feygl Semushina, Irene Bolumar Martinez, Anjana Lakshmi, and Saulé Tuganbaeva)

This course is a survey of folk literature identifying archetypes, themes, and motifs, orally transmitted literature across place and time. Students will begin by learning key concepts of folklore scholarship: culture, tradition, performance, genre, the local/global distinction, the folk/popular divide, and the dynamics of the customary and innovative in folklore production. Through an exploration of these concepts students will develop an expansive definition of folklore the way that stories live between and among people i.e. tellers and audiences, collectors and translators; adapting themselves to changing times, circumstances and metaphysical spaces. The course will focus on the transmission and transformation of cultural knowledge and practice in situations of want and plenty, peace and conflict.

In this course, we discuss aspects of linguistic meaning and ways of modelling it in formal semantics. Students will develop experience with the formal system proposed in Heim & Kratzer (1998). We will focus on compositionality, i.e. how the meanings of larger structures are built up from the meanings of their smaller parts. We will cover the interpretation of transitive and intransitive predicates, names, pronouns, definite descriptions, quantifiers, and such connectives as conjunction and disjunction. We will see how their denotation contributes to the interpretation of a whole sentence.

Securitisation Theory is primarily used to illustrate and map out the procedures through which the state functions as the primary actor that requires protection against existential threats. In recent years, the scope of the theory has been broadened to include emerging security issues, such as cyber-threats, maritime threats, threats to human security, and environmental threats. This addition has enabled a more comprehensive approach to understand how threats move from ordinary issues to the realm of politics. This course provides an introduction of the theory and processes. It also highlights the role of the human factor and their construction of threats within the securitisation process.

This co-taught advanced seminar will reflect on how to put the philosophy of decolonization into practice in daily life through decolonizing different structural, institutional, individual, collective and emotional spaces around us. Dr. Danielle Arendse will introduce the phenomenon of decolonization and decoloniality in details. Then, Dr. Sayan Dey will carry forward the introductory discourses towards the aspect of decolonizing colonial spaces around us. In order to facilitate the discussions, the readings will focus on decolonial theories, methodologies, and philosophies on the one side and on decolonizing universities, museums, walkways, beaches, and cafeterias on the other.

The relation between language acquisition and language change has long been recognized. Languages undergo change in speech communities whose linguistic compositions are constantly in flux. In parallel, language acquisition is dynamic – individuals’ internal languages develop as they mature from pre-verbal infants to adult speakers. Children’s status as innovators in language is evident from the fact that they may produce forms that are not attested in the input. A central question in language acquisition research is whether the child discovers linguistic regularities based on the input or whether such regularities form part of the language design? The same theoretical tension arises in historical linguistics: Is language change constrained by mechanisms inherent to language or not? In this seminar we will look at some classic questions in historical linguistics and language acquisition through the lens of cross-linguistic studies.
