Meeting Description:

Diachronic Generative Syntax (DIGS21, 5-7 June 2019) 
and pre-DIGS Workshop (4 June 2019)

The Diachronic Generative Syntax conference is an international meeting
organized annually for linguists interested in syntactic change from a
generative perspective. The conference has been a forum for the presentation
and discussion of current research in formal diachronic syntax for more than
20 years. The first DiGS conference was held in 1990, and the conference
alternates between venues in Europe and the American continent.


Call for Papers:

The 21st Diachronic Generative Syntax conference (DiGS21) will be hosted at
Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ, on 5-7 June 2019. As typical for DIGS,
there will be a pre-DIGS Workshop on 4 June 2019. The topic of the Workshop is
Comparative Morpho-Syntax of the Indigenous Languages of North and Central
America.

DiGS21 welcomes submissions on any topic in formal diachronic syntax, but
especially encourages research that presents novel historical syntactic data
and/or sheds light on the internal and external sources of language variation
and change, and the paths that syntactic change follows.

There is a separate call for papers for the workshop. The theoretical
framework for the workshop is open. 

Keynote speakers:

Pamela Munro, University of California, Los Angeles, for the pre-DIGS Workshop
Paul Kiparsky, Stanford University, DIGS
Will Oxford, University of Manitoba, DIGS
Bridget Samuels, University of Southern California, DIGS

Abstracts for DIGS are invited for 30-minute presentations (followed by 10
minutes of discussion) or for 10-minute short talks (followed by 10 minutes of
discussion) on any aspect of diachronic syntax. The short talks are instead of
a poster session.

Abstracts must not exceed two pages in length, including examples and
references (12 pt font). Submission is limited to one single-authored and one
co-authored abstract per author, or two co-authored abstracts, whether it is
for the main conference or for the workshop, or both. Abstracts must be
anonymous.

Abstracts for DIGS may be submitted through EasyChair at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digs21

Abstracts for the workshop (see separate cfp) should be sent to
ellyvangelderen at asu.edu. 

Registration details: TBA
Deadline for submission: 15 December 2018; notification of acceptance: 31
January 2019
Organizing Committee: Elly van Gelderen, Johanna Wood, Angela Schrader, and
William Kruger.
