Meeting Description:

GLOW 47 will take place on March 24-28, 2025, in Frankfurt &
Göttingen, Germany. The conference consists of a thematically open
main colloquium and two workshops.

+++

MAIN COLLOQUIUM: March 25-27, 2025, Frankfurt
For the main colloquium, which will include 3 poster sessions,
scholars are invited to submit unpublished papers within all areas of
generative linguistics: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics. An
author may submit a maximum of 2 abstracts to the main colloquium,
only one of which may be single-authored. However, the same person may
submit 2 different single-authored abstracts to the main colloquium
and a workshop.
- Awards: GLOW will award 2 students with €200 each. The GLOW board
and local organizers will select 2 abstracts/presentations during the
conference and present the awards on the last day of the main
colloquium.
- Proceedings: GLOW plans to have open-access proceedings publishing
contributions to the main colloquium in a short format.

WORKSHOP I: (UNIVERSAL) PARADIGMATIC GAPS: March 24, 2025, Göttingen
Paradigmatic gaps concern words, morphemes, or phonemes that, despite
being theoretically permissible in a language, do not exist. Such gaps
have been attested in phonology, morphology and semantics. For
instance, Thai has several sets of stop consonants that differ in
terms of voicing and aspiration. Yet the language has no voiced velar
stop (/ɡ/). Also, various instances of affixation do not appear. Why
is it possible to say ‘proposal' and ‘proposition’ but not
‘arrivation’ next to ‘arrival’? And in Greek many nouns lack a form
for the genitive plural (with existing forms for all other cells in
the paradigm). Finally, semantically, various concepts are not
lexicalized (for instance, gender-neutral kinship terms for siblings
of parents). Some of these gaps are even universal (for instance, the
arguably universal absence of a word meaning ’not every’).
 - In this workshop, we address all these kinds of gaps and seek an
answer to the question why such gaps are attested.
- Invited Speaker: Maribel Romero
For this, we invite submissions for 30 minute talks on any issue
related to (universal) paradigmatic gaps. The guidelines are the same
as for the main session.

WORKSHOP II: NEGATION: March 28, 2025, Frankfurt
Negation is universal - it can be expressed in every language. At the
same time, languages show impressive variation concerning the
expression of negation. Languages exhibit many different types of
syntactic markers of negation, but they also mark it in terms of bound
morphology or even exclusively by phonological means. Negation can
have different semantic effects, it impacts syntactic structure and
interacts with many other linguistic phenomena, e.g. word order
variation, focus marking, question formation, quantification or
scrambling.
This workshop focuses on the manifoldness of expressing negation
across languages and asks what the different syntactic realizations of
negation across languages have in common and what they can tell us
about the functional makeup of sentences cross-linguistically.

The following questions arise:
 - How is negation expressed cross-linguistically and to what extent
can the different ways to realize negation be interpreted as different
expressions of the same functional structure?
 - What do agreement phenomena and negative concord reveal in this
respect?
 - What does negation share with other functional categories or
operators and what is specific to negation?
 - In which way does negation marking interact with other syntactic
operations and how does it influence the way or form in which other
elements appear in the sentence?
 - What is the role of lexical elements whose occurrence is only
licenced in the context of negation?
 - Invited Speaker: Hedde Zeijlstra

We invite contributions from all subfields of generative linguistics,
addressing these and other questions relating to the analysis of of
negation cross-linguistically.

Final Call for Papers:

Abstracts for the main colloquium and workshops are to be submitted
via OpenReview at the same submission point (link below).

An author may submit a maximum of two abstracts to the main
colloquium, only one of which may be single-authored. However, the
same person may submit two different single-authored abstracts to the
main colloquium and a workshop. You will be asked to indicate which
session (main colloquium, workshop I, workshop II) and modality (long
talk, short talk, poster) you would like your abstract to be
considered on form. You can choose multiple options for each abstract.

Abstracts, including references and data, must not exceed two pages
with 1 inch (2.54cm) margins on all sides. Font must be set in Times
New Roman (or equivalent) with a font size no smaller than 12pt. Font
size in displays and references may be smaller. The submission must
not reveal the identity of the author(s) in any way. (Note that files
uploaded to OpenReview are renamed by the system, but a PDF file may
contain hidden information about its author or creator. Make sure to
remove that information.)

Important dates:
Submissions open: July 15th, 2024
Submission deadline: November 10th, 2024, 23:59 Frankfurt time (GMT
+01:00)
Notification of acceptance: January, 2025

Submission:
Please submit abstracts for both the main colloquium and workshops via
OpenReview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=glowlinguistics.org/GLOW/2025/Colloqui
um

All authors of a paper have to register with OpenReview before
submission. Please consider creating an account early, because the
process might take a few days.

Should you encounter any technical issues, don’t hesitate to write us
an email. For any questions about the main colloquium or either
workshop, please contact the local organizing committee at
