Meeting Description:

Going Romance is the European conference series that focuses on Romance 
languages from the perspective of current linguistic theorizing. In the two 
decades of its existence, it has developed into the major European discussion 
forum for theoretically relevant research on Romance languages where current 
ideas about language in general and about Romance languages in particular are 
discussed. This year, for the first time, the conference is really going Romance
and will be held in Nice, France. Organized by the Radboud University Nijmegen
and the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, it will take place in the Maison du
Séminaire, 3-5 December 2009. 

This year's invited speakers will be:

-Donca Steriade
-Luigi Rizzi
-Anne Zribi-Hertz

The conference lasts for three days, with two days for the general session. 
Slots for invited speakers are 60 minutes (45+15), while slots for selected 
speakers are 40 minutes (30+10). The conference includes a workshop on 
Diachrony of the Romance Languages on December 5th. 

Call for Papers

As every year, the third day of the conference is devoted to a special 
workshop. This year, the workshop focuses on linguistic change in relation to 
linguistic theory. We invite abstracts for 40 minute presentations (30 minute talk, 
10 minute discussion).

In order to submit, please upload an anonymous abstract on the Going Romance 
2009 page of Easy Abstracts (http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/goingromance09) 
by the 1st of September 2009, indicating whether your abstract is intended for 
the main session or the special workshop.  You will be notified of acceptance 
by October 1st, 2009. 

The conference will be held in the Maison du Séminaire (http://www.maison-
seminaire-nice.cote.azur.fr), where rooms have been reserved at a group rate 
for Going Romance 2009.
