Meeting Description: 

Trondheim, the host of the very first Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop in
1984, is very pleased to ‘welcome home’ CGSW 32, which will be hosted by the
Department of Language and Literature at NTNU Norwegian University of Science
and Technology.

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.

CGSW 32 will feature a two-day general workshop on 14 and 15 September. In
addition to the main workshop, we will host a special pre-workshop focusing on
variation in Germanic from a psycholinguistic perspective. We construe the
definition of “variation” broadly and invite any work that touches on the
processing of one or many Germanic languages by native, non-native, and
heritage speakers. The pre-workshop will be held on 13 September.

Invited Speakers:

Elisabet Engdahl (Gothenburg)
Tanja Kupisch (Konstanz and Tromsø)
Christina Tortora (CUNY)
