Meeting Description: 

The Colloquium on Generative Grammar is an international scientific event that
is held every year, since 1991, in a university of the Iberian Peninsula. It is
a meeting point for linguists that work within the framework of generative
grammar, whichever empirical base they use. It is a reunion to discuss novelties
about linguistic theory and enforce national and international exchanges between
research centers. In previous Colloquia researchers from the Iberian community
as well as from other places (e.g., from other European countries, USA, Canada,
South and Central America, North Africa, and Japan) have participated. It is
thus a well-accepted event among the national and the international linguistic
communities.
