Tracing Mismatches: Deviations from One-to-one Patterns is one of the
workshops to be held during the 48th annual conference of the German
Linguistic Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft, or
DGfS; see
https://www.uni-trier.de/universitaet/fachbereiche-faecher/fachbereich-ii/forschung-und-zentren/dgfs2026).
Invited Speakers:
Paula Fenger (Universität Leipzig)
Nina Haslinger (Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft)
Workshop Description:
While mismatch-related phenomena are often analyzed independently of
each other, the objective of this workshop is to bring together
different strands of research and identify common patterns and their
underlying causes. We understand ‘mismatches’ as deviations from
one-to-one mappings between categories across grammatical modules
(e.g. Francis & Michaelis 2003, Fenger & Weisser 2023).
Questions include: When do mismatches occur? What are the
common/diverging characteristics of mismatches across different
modules of grammar? What do mismatches tell us about interfaces? What
are the effects of adult-grammar mismatches on language acquisition?
We welcome submissions across subfields (e.g. syntax, semantics,
morphology, pragmatics, phonology) on mismatches within word-, phrase-
and clause-levels. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to,
markedness (morphological vs. semantic), mismatches in
conjunctions/disjunctions (agreement, subordination), locality
domains, hybrid agreement, honorification (e.g. Kaur & Yamada 2022),
sequence of tense, tense/aspect/mood interactions, perspectival
shifts, quantification and cumulativity (Haslinger & Schmitt 2022),
suppletion, syncretism, multiple exponence, and commission errors in
language acquisition.
Submission Guidelines:
Please submit an anonymous file in pdf by 15th of August, 2025 via
OpenReiew (see the URL below). All submissions will be considered for
oral presentation at the workshop.
Abstracts, including (select) 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
and 1.5 line spacing. (Font size in displays and references may be
smaller.) The submission must be anonymous and not reveal the identity
of the author(s) in any way.
An author may submit a maximum of two abstracts, only one of which may
be single-authored. Please note that in accordance with DGfS
regulations, single authors are not allowed to present their work in
multiple workshops, but they may be listed as co-authors of a paper in
different workshops.
Submission Deadline: August 15th, 2025
Notification of acceptance: mid-September

We strongly encourage creating an OpenReview profile early, due to the
moderation policy for newly created profiles: New profiles created
without an institutional email will go through a moderation process
that can take up to two weeks, whereas new profiles created with an
institutional email will be activated automatically.
