DISCOURSE PARTICLES, MODAL AND FOCAL PARTICLES, AND ALL THAT STUFF....
An international conference on PARTICLES under the auspices of the LINGUISTIC SOCIETY of BELGIUM and HET VLAAMS-NEDERLANDS COMITÉ, i.e. the BELGIAN and the DUTCH SCIENCE FOUNDATION (FWO/NWO).
The street is located near de Naamsepoort/porte de Namur.
It is best to get off at the central station in Brussels. You can
then take a metro to station 'Trone' but you need to change trains
once! It is possible to walk: about 20 minutes uphill in the
direction of the royal palace.
For those who are staying at "Les Citadines": get off at metro
station "Louise". The hotel is located at three mintues from the
metro station.
"Les Citadines" is a ten minutes walk away from the "Foundation".
Just follow the road direction 'Porte de Namur'.
PROGRAMME
THURSDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 7th 2000, 2100h onwards:

Guldenvlieslaan / Avenue de la Toison d'Or, very close to "Naamse poort" and
Fondation Universitaire / Universitaire Stichting, and a 7 minute's walk from "Les Citadines".
