Original Announcement: 

The Department of Romance Studies of the University of Vienna is happy to
announce that the workshop ‘Empirical Research on Portuguese’ will be held
virtually on 11-12 December 2020. In recent years, empirical questions are
becoming more and more central in many areas of linguistic research. The
empirical testing of theoretical predictions and the empirical deduction of
hypotheses are no longer merely a possibility, they are starting to become a
necessity. This is no longer only true for empirically oriented fields, even
in theories that traditionally relied on introspection, the trend of taking
methodological and empirical questions in consideration is gathering pace.
This development offers great potential but also confronts us linguists with
new challenges.

The workshop is spread over two days and will feature the following talks &
presentations:
Please note that the conference timetable is based on Central European Time
(CET).
