Meeting Description:

The Incontro di Grammatica Generativa has reached its 50th edition
(IGG50).

This year the IGG50 will be hosted by the University of Padova (Italy)
on February 20-21, 2025. The Incontro di Grammatica Generativa brings
together contributions on theoretical aspects of syntax, semantics,
morphology, and phonology within the framework of generative grammar.

IGG50 will be preceded by a pre-conference workshop on February 19,
2025:
Resilient syntax in contact: assessing minority languages

The invited speakers of IGG50 are: Valentina Bianchi, Guglielmo
Cinque, Caroline Heycock, Andrea Moro.
The invited speakers of the pre-conference workshop are: Jan
Casalicchio, Francesco Costantini.
Contact information: igg50unipd at gmail.com

Conference Format

For the main conference, we invite abstract submissions on theoretical
aspects of syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology investigated
within the framework of generative grammar. Studies adopting
computational and experimental methodologies fit the scope of the main
conference, as long as they push the theory of generative grammar
forward in the domains of syntax, semantics, morphology, and
phonology.

For the pre-conference workshop, we invite abstract submissions on
topics related to syntactic variation and stability in
language-contact situations. The main question of the workshop aims at
answering how resilient syntactic phenomena are in a context in which
the regional languages are under the pressure not only of standard
Italian, but also of other, more prestigious regional languages. The
final objective is to determine which areas of syntax are more easily
lost in the transmission process, due to the influence of the more
prestigious languages. This will help determine whether some areas of
the syntax can be used more in general as ‘markers’ for the degree of
structural vitality of a minority language.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts for the main conference and the workshop should be submitted
via EasyAbs.

https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/IGG50/

When submitting an abstract, the author(s) should indicate whether
they wish to be considered for an oral presentation, a poster, or
both. The author(s) should specify whether the abstract is intended to
be submitted to the main IGG conference or to the pre-conference
workshop.
Instructions for submission:
 - Abstracts should feature unpublished original research;
 - Abstracts should be in PDF format;
 - Abstracts should have a clear title and should not identify the
author(s);
 - Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages of letter-sized or A4
paper, including
references and examples, with 1" or 2.5 cm margins, font size 12,
single-spaced.

References can be given in a shortened form (e.g., "Chomsky 1986
Barriers" instead of "Chomsky, Noam. 1986. Barriers. Cambridge, MA:
MIT Press") -- provided this does not hinder the identification of the
source -- and set in a smaller font (no less than 10 points)

Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint
abstract per
author, or two joint abstracts per author.

All communications will be in person.

Each oral presentation will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute
discussion.
The official language of both the main conference and the
pre-conference workshop is English.

Submissions open: Oct. 1, 2024 - Nov. 15, 2024

Abstract review period: Nov. 16, 2024 - Dec. 15, 2024
