Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 24th Diachronic Generative Syntax
conference (DiGS24) will be held at the University Paris Cité (France)

Since its first installment in 1991, DiGS has established itself as
one of the world’s leading venues for the formal investigation of
syntactic change. More information about the history (and near future)
of this conference series can be found at http://walkden.space/digs/.

(LLF, UMR 7110, Université Paris Cité) and ‘Savoirs, Textes, Langage’
(LLF, UMR 8163, Université de Lille). The main conference will be
preceded by a one-day workshop ‘Formal Approaches to Language
Contact’, which will take place on July 4. More information about this
thematic workshop can be found at
