Meeting Description:

The Colloquium on Generative Grammar (CGG) is an annual conference
that has been held in Spain, Portugal and France since 1991. In this
conference, linguists from all over the world discuss the latest
approaches to the syntax, semantics and phonology of natural languages
and their interfaces within the Generative Grammar framework. CGG is
one of the main conferences on this topic held in Europe.

The 32nd Colloquium on Generative Grammar will take place as an
in-person meeting at the University of the Basque Country in
Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) on 24-26 April 2023, hosted by the Basque
Research Group of Theoretical Linguistics (HiTT, Hizkuntzalaritza
Teorikorako Taldea).

The conference will consist of a two-day main session (free topic) and
an additional thematic one-day workshop on case, agreement, argument
structure, and ellipsis.
