WoSS is a series of rotating workshops organized by PhD students from 'neighbouring' universities (see list below) for PhD students working in different domains of generative linguistics, in a broad sense, e.g. syntax, semantics, pragmatics, morphology, phonetics, phonology, language acquisition, computational linguistics, etc.
