2nd Workshop on Gallo-Romance Advances in Morphology & Syntax
Short Title: GRAMS2

Date: 27-May-2027 - 28-May-2027
Location: Dublin, Ireland

Submission Deadline: 11-Jan-2027

We are delighted to announce that the Gallo-Romance Advances in
Morphology & Syntax (GRAMS) workshop will return to Trinity College
Dublin on 27-28 May 2027 for its 2nd edition.
Invited plenary speakers:
- Richard Kayne (New York University)
- Lena Baunaz (Université Côte d’Azur)
- Jean-Yves Pollock (Université Paris-Est-Marne-la-Vallée)
We invite linguists investigating any aspect of Gallo‑Romance syntax
and/or morphology, from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives,
and drawing on formal approaches to morphology and/or syntax (all
frameworks). Abstracts may also focus on new empirical descriptive
work that contributes to our understanding of the Gallo-Romance DNA.
GRAMS embraces the full diversity of the Gallo‑Romance continuum, such
as Standard 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 encourages work on the
French spoken across Africa.
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.
Organising team: Marc Olivier-Loiseau, Valentina Colasanti, Craig
Sailor, Chiara Marchetiello.
