>The syntax of many unrelated verb initial languages are surprisingly
>similar in ways that might have an explanation in terms of Universal
>Grammar. In this workshop, we bring together researchers who work on a
>wide variety of verb initial languages to consider such questions as: Is
>there a universal derivation of V-initial order? Are there any true
>syntactic correlates to the order? What explains these correlates? While
>the workshop will focus on theoretical explanations for typological
>properties, papers on any aspect of the syntax of verb initial languages
>are welcome.
