Meeting Description: 

Atelier bilingue en linguistique théorique (ABLT)

Pour marquer le 20ème anniversaire de l'ABLT à l'Université de Toronto, on
retourne aux racines de l'atelier et on invite les présentations qui explorent
des propositions radicales pour de nouvelles approches et analyses en
linguistique théorique.

Dans l'esprit de la première édition de l'ABLT, on adopte pour cette
conférence un format (radical) inversé avec 10 min de présentation suivi d'une
période de 15 min pour les questions et la discussion. Par conséquent, les
présentations doivent être fondées SEULEMENT sur des travaux ou des idées en
cours.

Bilingual Workshop in Theoretical Linguistics (BWTL)

To mark the 20th anniversary of BWTL at the University of Toronto, we revisit
the roots of the workshop and invite presentations exploring radical proposals
for new approaches and analyses in theoretical linguistics. 

In the spirit of the original edition of BWTL, we adopt a (radical) inverted
conference format with 10-min presentations followed by a 15-min
question/discussion period. Consequently, presentations should be based on
works or ideas in progress only.
