GLOW Syntax Workshop
Theme: Less documented languages in formal linguistics: empirical
problems and theoretical perspectives

Date: 20-Apr-2026 - 20-Apr-2026
Location: Florence, Italy
Meeting URL: https://www.ritamanzini.it/glow-workshop/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics;
Linguistic Theories; Syntax; Text/Corpus Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 02-Dec-2025

Less documented languages is an umbrella term meant to cover a vast
variety of languages that are more difficult for scholars to access
for a variety of reasons. Some of them concern the lack of written
attestations or of an official status in education or administration,
the small size of the speech community, the limited transmission from
one generation to another – conditions that generally go together with
minority or endangered status. However, it is possible to consider
under the same heading languages that, while not endangered or
minority languages, are simply less documented in terms of available
data or scholarly research. All languages and language families that
respond to this basic description can form the object of submission.
The focus of the workshop will be on the important contributions of
less documented languages to empirical knowledge and to the
development of the theory. We invite 40 minute contributions (30
minutes + 10 minutes discussion) on any topic related to the
morphology and syntax of less documented languages, including the
following:
New evidence from less documented languages raising issues in
morphosyntactic theory or bearing on existing ones
Theoretical proposals motivated by evidence (previously known or
unknown) from less documented languages
Formal approaches to macro- or microvariation
Formal issues involving bilingualism (balanced or imbalanced),
including language contact, so-called heritage languages,
creolization.
Quantitative (corpus-based), experimental, computational treatments of
formal issues
Abstract selection will privilege proposals with a clear formal focus.
