Meeting URL: http://ling.uni-konstanz.de/pages/CGSW34 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics; Syntax 

Language Family(ies): Germanic 
Meeting Description: 

The 34th Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop (CGSW 34) will take place on
June 14 and 15 in the beautiful lakeside city of Konstanz, Germany.

The workshop is a forum for dealing with all aspects of comparative Germanic
syntax. Reflecting the strengths of syntactic research at the University of
Konstanz, we are particularly keen to encourage submissions that focus on
unconventional sources of evidence for syntactic theory: for instance,
experimental/psycholinguistic evidence; evidence from corpora, including
historical corpora; and evidence from non-standardized and extraterritorial
Germanic varieties.

Confirmed speakers:

Terje Lohndal (NTNU Trondheim)
Jon Sprouse (University of Connecticut)
Elly van Gelderen (Arizona State University)
