Background information
The purpose of ALT, founded in March 1994, and currently with more than 500 members, is to advance the scientific study of typology, that is, of cross-linguistic diversity and the patterns underlying it. To that end ALT seeks to further mutual awareness, dialogue, and co-operation within the international community of typologists; to give typology a higher profile within as well as outside linguistics, and in particular to act as an interest group of typologists in relation to the world of science and science funding. ALT's conferences and workshops are held every two years.
