Meeting Description:

The Scots Syntax Atlas (SCOSYA) project is hosting European Dialect Syntax
(Edisyn) Workshop IX at the University of Glasgow on Friday 22 and Saturday 23
March 2019.


Call for Papers:

Recent years have seen a flowering of theoretically-informed work on syntactic
variation within languages (see Kroch 1994, Barbiers, Cornips & van der Kleij
2002, Henry 2002, Cornips & Corrigan 2005, Barbiers et al. 2008, Adger & Smith
2010, Tortora 2014, Thoms & Sailor 2018, among many others). Central questions
that have been addressed include: What is variation within a single grammar?
How does variation within a grammar affect observed variation across dialects,
registers, etc? Theoretical approaches to these questions have ranged across
competing/multiple grammars, microparameters, combinatorial variation,
probabilistic variation in morphological exponence, variation in pronunciation
of elements of movement chains, interactions between prosodic variation and
morphosyntactic variation, etc. This workshop, which is part of the
AHRC-funded Scots Syntax Atlas (SCOSYA) project mapping syntactic variation in
Scots, aims to bring together researchers working on especially dialectal
variation in syntax and its relation to the core theoretical questions above.
The workshop will focus particularly on how studies of dialectal variation in
syntax can contribute to advances in syntactic theory, and vice versa.   

Invited Speakers:

Marjo van Koppen (Utrecht University) and Jeroen van Craenenbroeck (KU Leuven)
Christina Tortora (CUNY College of Staten Island)
David Willis (University of Cambridge)
Jim Wood (Yale University)

Submission Information:

We invite submissions for presentations related to the study of dialect
syntax. We especially welcome those which connect directly with the focus
described above. All abstracts should be submitted through EasyChair.
Abstracts should be written in text no smaller than 11pt, and should be at
most 2 pages (A4), including examples and references. They must be submitted
as PDFs and must be anonymized, both in terms of document content and
metadata.

EasyChair link for submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edsw9

Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts, only one of which may be
sole-authored (as opposed to joint-authored). All submissions will be
anonymously reviewed. A small number of student travel awards will be
available for students with accepted abstracts.

Important dates:

Submission deadline: 2 December 2018, 11.59pm GMT
Notification of outcome: 21 December 2018 

Please mail scotssyntaxatlas at gmail.com with general inquiries.
