2nd Call for Papers:
Description:
The second edition of the DM meets Nano workshop, to be held at the
Masaryk University (Brno) on July 7-9, 2026, aims to bring together
researchers working within Distributed Morphology and Nanosyntax,
inviting them to share recent developments and findings in their
respective frameworks and/or to examine (key) phenomena from a
comparative perspective, highlighting both the similarities and
differences between the two approaches. This way, the conference wants
to encourage dialogue, interaction and cooperation amongst researchers
interested in formal morphosyntax. We welcome submissions addressing
any language or language family and any topic in the nominal and
verbal domain, including those that explore the interfaces with
phonology and/or semantics. Contributions that draw on
cross-linguistic data or provide comparative perspectives are
especially encouraged, as they enrich the broader theoretical and
empirical discussions.
Invited Speakers:
- Guido Vanden Wyngaerd (KU Leuven)
- Marijke De Belder (Utrecht University)
- Karen De Clercq (LLF, CNRS - UMR 7110)
- Laura Grestenberger (University of Vienna)

We welcome contributions for 20 minute talks, each followed by a 10
minute discussion session. As this workshop seeks to foster dialogue
and collaboration between researchers working in Distributed
Morphology and Nanosyntax, we especially welcome submissions that
engage with one or more of the following topics:
- Curious cases of syncretism
- Suppletion and contextual allomorphy
- *ABA-patterns
- Structural gaps (e.g. (pro)nouns, TAM, gender…)
- Perspectives on the different predictions made by DM and Nanosyntax
- Phenomena at the interfaces with semantics and/or phonology
- Agreement and concord
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts should be anonymised and limited to two single-spaced
A4-pages (including references and examples) with one-inch margins,
and a minimum font size 12pt. sent in PDF format by February 15, 2026,
23:59 CET via
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/dmmeetsnano/. Participants
may submit up to two abstracts with a maximum of one single-authored
paper.
Important Dates:
 - Submissions open: December 1, 2025
 - Extended submission deadline: February 28, 2026 (23:59 CET)
 - Notification of acceptance: start of April
 - Workshop dates: July 07-09, 2026
