[Ans van Kemenade]

Call for papers
 
At the 16th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 11-15 August 2003, Ulrike Demske (Saarbrucken) and Ans van Kemenade (Nijmegen) are organizing a workshop on Old Germanic Syntax.
 
Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute papers (followed by discussion sessions on thematically related papers) on any aspect of Old Germanic syntax. Preference is given to theoretically informed work on a sound empirical basis, and work on Germanic languages other than English is strongly encouraged. Choice of topic is open, but suggestions are: word order change; the development of the verb-particle construction, the rise of verbal periphrasis, negation, changes in NP-structure.
 
The deadline for abstracts is 1 March 2003. Notification of acceptance will be given by 1 April 2003. Please submit a 500 word abstract by e-mail to the organisers, u.demske at mx.uni-saarland.de, and A.v.Kemenade at let.kun.nl.
