Meeting Description:

With GREAT 2018 we want to promote research on tense and aspect in Romance.
The ultimate goal is to (re-)define the special place of Romance in the
semantic and syntactic literature on tense and aspect.

Organizers of the special session GREAT 2018: Henriette de Swart, Bert Lebruyn


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts on tense and aspect that come with a strong comparative
component and have at least one Romance language at their core. The
comparative component can be worked out along several dimensions, including
Macro-Variation (e.g. Romance vs. Germanic vs. Sino-Tibetan), Micro-Variation
(e.g. Quiteño vs. Salvadoran Spanish), Genre-variation (e.g. dialogue vs.
narration), L1/L2/L3 acquisition (e.g. L2 interlanguage of English speakers
learning Italian).

We strongly encourage abstracts with a strong empirical component that allow
us to feed and - where necessary - challenge current theorizing. We
consequently particularly welcome abstracts with a strong experimental or
original corpus component as well as abstracts that zoom in on tense/aspect
categories that have received less attention in the past.

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two pages A4, including
references and examples, with margins of at least 2,5 cm, font size 12,
single-spaced. The file should be anonymous both in the body of the text and
in the filename. Please make sure all fonts and figures are correctly
rendered.

Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract
per author for the entire four day-event during . Please indicate in your
submission whether your abstract should be considered for the main session, or
for one of the special sessions. Please also indicate whether your paper is to
be considered for oral or poster presentation.

Abstracts not conforming to these requirements will not be taken into
consideration. 

The abstracts should be submitted in .PDF format through EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/cfp/goingromance2018) no later than July 20, 2018.
