  7. Who are we? Uniting characteristics • Theory is not a goal in itself, but a tool that serves the primary interest of the group members, which is to describe and classify linguistic facts based on empirical research • Frameworks applied • Language-specificity Relevance • No knowledge (including theory) without data • Lesser susceptibility to obsolescence • Broadness ccc Examples:

  8. Achievements • 171 academic publications • 7 monographs • 6 Ph.D. theses • 18 editorial activities • 72 professional publications (interest of a wider audience) • 2 internal and 1.5 external Ph.D. projects initiated • Finno-Ugristics conference 2001 • other conferences (in collaboration with other groups), e.g. Languages in Contact 2000

  9. Goals • continuation of output • more Ph.D. students and postdocs (future generation)

  10. Opportunities, threats Threats • few possibilities for Ph.D. projects • situation within the FdL, connection with teaching priorities Opportunities • collaboration with LOT, CNWS
