Rightward Movement is the inaugural workshop of the AHRC-funded
project ‘The Structure and Processing of Rightward Scrambling in
Hindi-Urdu.’ The workshop will bring together researchers working on
the syntax of (apparent) rightward movement in any language. It aims
to advance our understanding of left-right asymmetries and word order
variation by exploring theoretical and empirical perspectives on
rightward movement. The workshop will feature a mix of presentations
by members of the project and its board, as well as talks selected via
abstract submission.
The workshop will be held in-person at Chandler House, UCL, London.
Participants are also welcome to sign up for online attendance. Please
note that we will not be taking any questions online. Please register

will be able to select dinner options during registration.
