Meeting Description:

Since its first edition in 1990, DiGS has established itself as the
leading venue for the formal investigation of syntactic change in the
generative framework. More information about the history (and near
future) of this conference series can be found at
http://walkden.space/digs/. There will be no parallel sessions, a now
traditional format for DiGS, with the aim of fostering a collaborative
atmosphere.

For the very first time, DiGS will be hosted by the Faculty of
Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics in Oxford. The conference will
feature a half-day workshop entitled ‘Investigating diachronic syntax
with less-documented and unwritten languages: methods and theory’,
which will take place on June 23rd. The objectives of this workshop
will be to discuss how to approach languages that do not boast a long
or rich literary tradition and apply contemporary theoretical tools to
study their syntactic evolution. The workshop’s keynote speaker will
be Dr Jenneke Van der Wal, specialist in African languages and
linguistics. For the workshop, we especially welcome proposals
featuring underrepresented languages in the diachronic generative
syntax tradition.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for:
Oral presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes for questions)
Workshop presentations (30 minutes + 10 minutes for questions)
Poster Presentations

The language of the conference is English, but submissions can focus
on any language. Presentations should contribute to any aspect of
diachronic generative syntax (e.g., syntactic change, or methodologies
directly informing the field).

Please indicate in your submission whether you want your presentation
to be considered for an oral and/or poster session, and whether it is
for the workshop or for the general session.

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two A4 pages,
including references and examples, in 12-point Times New Roman, with
margins of at least 2,5 cm / 1 inch. Submissions for the conference
are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per
author, independently from submissions for the workshop.
