Meeting Description:

In celebration of the conclusion of the Bantu Syntax and Information Structure
(BaSIS) project, running at Leiden University from 2017 – 2023, there will be
a 2-day conference organised in Leiden on the 8th and 9th of June 2023 in
hybrid (physical + online) format. The theme of the conference is the
influence of information structure on (Bantu) morphosyntax, and we are happy
to have Michael Diercks (Pomona College) as our invited speaker.


Call for Papers:

In addition to the BaSIS project members presenting the results of their
research, we warmly invite other presentations related to information
structure in Bantu. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- How is information structure expressed in Bantu languages?
- Where is information structure in the grammar?
- Formal analyses of Bantu syntax/information structure
- Field methods for the investigation of syntax and information structure
- The interaction between information structure and prosody
- Comparative aspects of information structure between Bantu and other
languages
- The status (and revision?) of notions in information structure

Please submit your 1-page abstracts by 23rd December by emailing them to
BaSISconference at hum.leidenuniv.nl. Decisions will be sent out by 16th January.

There is no fee for participation - the conference is funded by the NWO Vidi
grant.

For further questions, please contact Jenneke van der Wal at

We look forward to seeing you in Leiden/online!
