<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Call for papers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the 16th International Conference on Historical
Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 11-15 August 2003, Ulrike Demske
(Saarbrucken) and Ans van Kemenade (Nijmegen) are organizing a workshop on Old
Germanic Syntax.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute papers
(followed by discussion sessions on thematically related papers) on any
aspect of Old Germanic syntax. Preference is given to theoretically
informed work on a sound empirical basis, and work on Germanic languages other
than English is strongly encouraged. Choice of topic is open, but suggestions
are: word order change; the development of the verb-particle construction, the
rise of verbal periphrasis, negation, changes in NP-structure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The deadline for abstracts is 1 March 2003.
Notification of acceptance will be given by 1 April 2003. Please submit a 500
word abstract by e-mail to the organisers, <A
href="mailto:u.demske@mx.uni-saarland.de">u.demske@mx.uni-saarland.de</A>, and
<A href="mailto:A.v.Kemenade@let.kun.nl">A.v.Kemenade@let.kun.nl</A>.
