>The syntax of many unrelated verb initial languages are surprisingly
>similar in ways that might have an explanation in terms of Universal
>Grammar. In this workshop, we bring together researchers who work on a
>wide variety of verb initial languages to consider such questions as:
>Is there a universal derivation of V-initial order? Are there any true
>syntactic correlates to the order? What explains these correlates?
>While the workshop will focus on theoretical explanations for
>typological properties, papers on any aspect of the syntax of verb
>initial languages are welcome.
