Meeting Description:

We are delighted to announce LeiBieCos, a workshop on Comparative
Syntax organized by the universities of Leiden and Bielefeld. This
2-day conference will take place at Leiden University on Thursday 23
May and Friday 24 May 2024.

Our invited speaker is Maria Polinsky (University of Maryland)

There will be two panel sessions on Thursday afternoon:

- Theoretical Approaches to Variation. Invited panelists: Michelle
Sheehan (Newcastle), Susi Wurmbrand (Vienna/Harvard), Maria Polinsky
(Maryland)
- Methodology and Resources. Invited panelists: Jenneke van der Wal
(Leiden), Hilda Koopman (UCLA), Jeroen van Craenenbroeck
(Leuven/Meertens), Sjef Barbiers (Leiden)

The workshop will be preceded by the Leiden Workshop on Creole
Languages (WoCL) on Wednesday May 22, organized by Stéphane Térosier,
Jenny Doetjes, and Benjamin Storme, with Marlyse Baptista (UPenn) as
the invited speaker.

For the general comparative syntax session, we invite abstracts for
30-minute presentations (+ 10 min discussion) on any topic in
comparative generative syntax. We particularly welcome papers
explicitly addressing synchronic or diachronic properties of
un(der)studied varieties and/or phenomena, and papers concerned with
more general questions, concerning, e.g., the relation between
comparative syntax and linguistic typology, syntax-interface mappings,
and our understanding of language as a cognitive system. We also
encourage papers concerned with methodologies for modern comparative
generative syntax.

Anonymous abstracts should not exceed 800 words. Please use 12-point
Times New Roman font, with single spacing and margins of at least
2.54cm/1 inch. Abstracts should be uploaded in pdf format via EasyAbs
by 1 February 2024.
