We are delighted to announce that the Gallo-Romance Advances in
Morphology & Syntax (GRAMS) workshop will be held in Trinity College
Dublin on 25-26 May 2026.
GRAMS embraces the full diversity of the Gallo‑Romance continuum, such
as French and its regional varieties, the lesser-studied Oïl dialects
(e.g., Gallo, Picard, Franc-Comtois), and the Oc varieties of southern
France (e.g., Provençal, Auvergnat, Languedocien). Other indigenous
Gallo-Romance languages include Gascon, Francoprovençal, and the
Croissant dialects. Beyond France, numerous Gallo-Romance varieties
are spoken across Europe: in Belgium (e.g., Walloon), Switzerland
(e.g., Swiss French), Catalonia (e.g., Aranese), and Italy (e.g.,
Occitan varieties of the Valadas occitanas and of Guardia Piemontese
in Calabria, Francoprovençal in Valle d’Aosta, and the Gallo-Italico
varieties of Sicilia). The workshop also welcomes contributions on
non-European varieties, where variation is rich, such as Acadian
French, Québécois, Louisiana French, Guyanese French, or Caribbean
French, to mention but a few, and it especially encourages work on the
French spoken across Africa.
Our invited plenary speakers are Michelle Sheehan (Newcastle
University) and Sam Wolfe (University of Oxford).
We invite submissions for 20-minute presentations (followed by 10
minutes for discussion) on any aspect of the morphology and/or syntax
of Gallo-Romance — all varieties welcome (standard and
non-standard(ised)). Proposals may address synchronic and/or
diachronic issues, and we welcome formal analyses within any
theoretical framework as well as solid descriptive analyses that draw
from new empirical findings and/or innovative methodological tools.
Abstracts may also focus on interface phenomena, provided they shed
light on the functioning of morphology and/or syntax. The languages of
the conference are English, French, and Occitan.
Nous acceptons les présentations en français, et vous pouvez écrire
votre proposition de communication en français, en occitan, ou en
anglais.
Acceptam las presentacions en occitan, e podètz escriure vòstra
proposicion de comunicacion en occitan, en francés, o en anglés.
Abstracts should be anonymous and must not exceed two pages, including
examples, references, and figures. They should be formatted in at
least 12-point font, with 2.5 cm margins (A4) or 1" margins (Letter).
Each author may submit a maximum of two abstracts, only one of which
may be single-authored.
Please submit your abstract through EasyAbs:
