Meeting Description:

We especially welcome submissions relevant to this year’s special
theme of locality in South Asian languages. Constraints on
long-distance dependencies have been part of linguistic theorizing for
decades but, as data from previously less–studied languages and
language families comes to light, these theories must be continually
adapted to accommodate the full range of attested patterns. South
Asian languages have proved to play in invaluable role in advancing
linguistic theory in this way (see discussion of relevant literature
below). On that note, we welcome contributions that shed light on
(anti-)locality restrictions in grammar with data from South Asian
languages. We also welcome work in the realm of South Asian
linguistics that examines locality from the perspective of external
factors like acquisition, processing, and computational efficiency.
While work on South Asian languages in these domains has historically
been underrepresented in the literature, this has changed a great deal
in recent years (see selected references below).
