The 33rd installment of Formal Approaches to Slavic Linguistics (FASL 33) will be held at Dalhousie University in partnership with Saint Mary's University (Halifax, Canada). This FASL edition will be integrated into a four-day event: "Slavic languages across grammars and models". In addition to general sessions (traditionally open to any aspect of formal Slavic linguistics), this event is planned to include:
- Special sessions on Slavic heritage languages
- A roundtable on clitics: "Trends and synergies in the research on Slavic clitics"
- A tutorial on large language models: "Slavic linguistics in the age of AI"
The meeting will feature presentations based on peer-reviewed abstracts as well as invited presentations by established researchers, emerging scholars, and graduate students. See the conference website for the full list of invited presenters, complementing the confirmed plenary speakers.
Invited plenary speakers are (in alphabetical order): Wayles Browne (Cornell University), Daniel Currie Hall (Saint Mary's University), and Maria Polinsky (University of Maryland).
