Meeting Description:

The Incontro di Grammatica Generativa is the annual Italian conference on
generative linguistics, now at its 47th edition. IGG47 will be hosted by the
Department of Humanities (DISUM) of the University of Catania, from 24 to 26
February 2022. To optimize interactions among researchers, we plan to hold the
conference on site. Nonetheless, we will keep safety in mind and switch to
online/blended modality, should the need arise. For the main conference, we
invite abstracts for 30-minute talks or for posters on any topic related to
generative grammar, from a theoretical and/or experimental perspective.

In addition to the main conference, there will be a satellite workshop on
''Language and migration''. The official language is English.

Call for Papers

Main conference

For the general conference, we invite abstracts for 30-minute talks (20
minutes for presentation + 10 minutes for discussion) and for posters on any
topic related to generative grammar, from a theoretical and/or experimental
perspective. The official language is English.

Workshop: Language and Migration (February 24th 2022)

Migration is crucial to repertoire modification and language change. Recent
advances in (micro)contact analysis can be usefully integrated with the study
of synchronic and diachronic corpora and with evidence from typological,
comparative and historical linguistics.

We decided to dedicate the workshop of the 47 th IGG to these issues, which
also tie nicely with the research themes developed at the hosting department
DISUM within the frame of the interdisciplinary project MigrAIre.

In particular, the following questions will be addressed:

– To what extent is it possible to predict the output of linguistic contact on
the basis of cognitive, structural, geographical, social and cultural factors?

– What is the weight of (i) the differences between the languages in contact
and (ii) the duration of their coexistence in the same area?

Such an integrated approach can give us the opportunity to address these
questions and also shed new light on more general aspects of human language,
language acquisition/L2 learning and interaction between the components of
grammar. Submissions are invited on issues related to language and migration
along the lines indicated above, from both theoretical and applied
perspectives.

The workshop will take place in the morning of February 24th. The official
language of the workshop is English.

Instructions for Submission

The abstracts, in PDF format, must be submitted via Easychair:
