Languages vary but this variation is not chaotic. Within the Principles and
Parameters framework, the ''Principles'' are the abstract system that underlie
Universal Grammar, while the ''Parameters'' are the points of possible
variation within this system. While originally conceived as settings that
account for a wide range of linguistic properties (macro-parameters, such as
the pro-drop parameter), parameters have recently been either outright denied
or re-cast as micro-parameters. This workshop aims to highlight current
research on parameters from a broad range of perspectives.


2nd Call for Papers:

Deadline extended!

Call for abstracts: 

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for questions). A
poster session may be added to the program following evaluation of
submissions. We ask that you limit your submissions to one singly-authored
abstract and one co-authored abstract, or two co-authored abstracts.

Submission guidelines: Submissions should be in PDF format. Abstracts should
be no longer than 2 letter-sized (or A4) pages, including all text, data,
figures, and references. Text should be in a 12pt font, with page margins no
smaller than 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides.
