Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Syntax

The 21st CIDSM will be hosted by Masaryk University (Brno) from 9 to
11 June 2027.
The Comparative Italian Dialect Syntax-Morphology Meeting (CIDSM) aims
to bring together dialectologists working on any aspect of the syntax
and/or morphology of the dialects of Italy, including non-Romance
varieties, and encourages all approaches – whether synchronic or
diachronic, descriptive or theoretical (all frameworks) – to the
regional languages and dialects spoken throughout Italy.
It started in Cambridge in 2006 and has been taking place yearly
since, under the name of Cambridge Italian Dialect Syntax-Morphology
Meeting from 2006 to 2024.
This year's meeting will also include a workshop entitled
"Italo-Romance languages in contexts of migration". This workshop
focuses on research on Italo-Romance languages in multilingual
contexts shaped by migration. We welcome contributions on heritage
Italo-Romance varieties, the acquisition of Italo-Romance languages in
migration contexts, and contact between Italo-Romance languages and
other languages. We invite proposals on any aspect of the syntax
and/or morphology of Italo-Romance languages in migrant communities,
both in Italy and abroad.
Invited Speakers:
Delia Bentley, The University of Manchester
Silvia Terenghi, Utrecht University
Submission Instructions:
Abstracts are invited for posters or talks on any aspect of the syntax
and/or the morphology of the dialects of Italy. Talks should not
exceed 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Submissions
are limited to 1 individual and 1 joint abstract per author, or 2
joint abstracts per author. The conference languages are Italian and
English.
Abstracts must be submitted through EasyAbs, creating an account and
indicating whether the proposal is for a poster or for a talk. The
proposals must be anonymous and must include a title. They must not
exceed two pages (including examples, illustrations and references)
(font size 12).
The deadline for abstract submission is 23:59 CET on 7th February
2027.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by 22nd March 2027.

Brno dal 9 all’11 giugno 2027.
Il Comparative Italian Dialect Syntax-Morphology Meeting (CIDSM) si
propone di riunire studiosi e studiose che si occupano di qualsiasi
aspetto della sintassi e/o della morfologia dei dialetti d’Italia,
comprese le varietà non romanze, incoraggiando tutti gli approcci –
sia sincronici che diacronici, sia descrittivi che teorici e formali –
allo studio dei dialetti e/o delle lingue regionali d’Italia.
Il convegno è nato a Cambridge nel 2006 e da allora si svolge
annualmente, con il nome di Cambridge Italian Dialect
Syntax-Morphology Meeting dal 2006 al 2024.
L’edizione di quest’anno ospiterà anche un workshop dal titolo

dedicato alla ricerca sulle varietà italoromanze in contesti
multilingui e migratori. Accettiamo contributi sulle heritage
languages italoromanze, sull’acquisizione delle lingue italoromanze in
contesti migratori e sul contatto tra le lingue italoromanze e altre
lingue. Si invitano proposte su qualsiasi aspetto della sintassi e/o
della morfologia delle lingue italoromanze nelle comunità migranti,
sia in Italia sia all’estero.
Relatrici invitate:
Delia Bentley, The University of Manchester
Silvia Terenghi, Utrecht University

presentare un massimo di 1 proposta come autore singolo + 1 proposta
