Subject: Workshop on Linguistic Variation at the Interfaces II

 
Full Title: Workshop on Linguistic Variation at the Interfaces II 
Short Title: VARINT21 

Date: 18-Nov-2021 - 19-Nov-2021
Location: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain 
Contact Person: Elías Gallardo
Meeting Email: elias.gallardo at uab.cat

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 21-May-2021 

Meeting Description:

The main aim of this workshop is to widen our understanding of the empirical
phenomena displaying linguistic variation, their relevance for the design of
the overall grammatical architecture and the current status of parameter-based
perspectives on variation.

Descriptive-formal generative approaches to variation are founded on the
hypothesis that language variation is channeled by an input-based
decision-making process leading to a cascade of binary options (parameters),
ultimately yielding a network. Typically, such approaches offer a rather
limited scenario of networks (cf. Baker 2008, Biberauer & Roberts 2015, a.o.),
whose complexity may reflect constraints imposed to the Faculty of Language,
be these of the 3rd Factor type (cf. Chomsky 2005) or anchored to the various
interfaces. This relatively wide view allows us to address both language
“variation” and language “contact” among phylogenetically and
non-phylogenetically related varieties in a comprehensive fashion.


Second Call for Papers: 

DEADLINE EXTENSION: May 21, 2021

We welcome contributions that, with such a broad-spectrum taken in mind, focus
on the lexicon-syntax and syntax-discourse interfaces, the syntax-semantics
interface, the syntax-morphology interface, and language contact and language
variation phenomena.

Authors are asked to submit their abstracts in an anonymous PDF file to the
following site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=varint21. An abstract,
including examples, tables, or figures, where needed, must not exceed one page
in length, in a 12 point font. Margins should be at least 2.5 cm on all sides.
