Meeting Description:

The 31st edition of the Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop will be a
historic one as this will be the first CGSW to be held in Africa. Stellenbosch
University in South Africa’s beautiful Western Cape Province will be hosting
this meeting, which will take place on 2-3 December 2016. 

Invited Speakers:

Roland Hinterhölzl (Venice)
Jason Merchant (Chicago)
Tarald Taraldsen (Tromsø)

The Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop (CGSW) is an annual conference
bringing together researchers with a comparative interest in the syntactic
variation attested in Germanic languages, past and present. See
http://www.let.rug.nl/~zwart/cgsw/ for an overview of CGSW's history.


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for thirty-minute talks (followed by ten minutes of
discussion) on any aspect of comparative Germanic syntax, including diachronic
syntax. Given the location of the conference, we are also very interested in
research focusing on lesser studied Germanic varieties, particularly those
that have developed and/or been used in contact situations, including
“extraterritorial” varieties of continental Germanic. Papers focusing on
formal aspects of “non-standard” varieties and on phenomena like
code-switching are also very welcome, as are papers considering how aspects of
the structure of non-Germanic languages spoken in southern Africa (may) have
impacted on the structure of Germanic languages spoken in this part of the
world.

Abstract Guidelines: 
Abstracts should not exceed two pages, with 2.5cm margins on all sides and a
font size of 12pt. This includes data, references and diagrams.  
Each author may submit no more than one single-authored and one co-authored
abstract, or two co-authored ones.  
Abstracts must be anonymous and prospective presenters should submit their
abstract in pdf to:
http://conferences.sun.ac.za/index.php/cgsw31/cgsw31/about/submissions#onlineS
ubmissions 

The deadline for submission is 31 May 2016. 
Notification of acceptance by 1 July 2016.
