May 22, 2025 - May 23, 2025
We are delighted to announce BieLeiCoS 2025, a workshop on Comparative Syntax organized by the universities of Bielefeld and Leiden. The two day workshop will take place at Bielefeld University, Germany, on Thursday 22 May and Friday 23 May 2025.
Invited speaker: to be announced
Besides the regular conference, there will be two panel sessions on Thursday afternoon, one on Comparative Syntax and Typology and one on Corpus Methodology and Resources.
For the general comparative syntax session, we invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (+ 10 min discussion) on any topic in comparative generative syntax.
We particularly welcome papers explicitly addressing synchronic or diachronic properties of un(der)studied varieties and/or phenomena, and papers concerned with more general questions, concerning, e.g., the relation between comparative syntax and linguistic typology, syntax-interface mappings, and our understanding of language as a cognitive system. We also encourage papers concerned with methodologies for modern comparative generative syntax.
Submission instructions:
Anonymous abstracts should not exceed 800 words. Please use 12-point Times New Roman font, with single spacing and margins of at least 2.54cm/1 inch. Abstracts should be uploaded in pdf format via EasyAbs.
The submission deadline is January 15, 2025.
Submissions open: Sept. 30, 2024 - Jan. 15, 2025
Abstract review period: Jan. 16, 2025 - Feb. 27, 2025
