Submission instructions:

For the main conference, we invite abstract submissions on theoretical aspects of syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology investigated within the framework of generative grammar. Studies adopting computational and experimental methodologies fit the scope of the main conference, as long as they push the theory of generative grammar forward in the domains of syntax, semantics, morphology and phonology (note that abstracts pertaining to the pre-conference workshop on Theoretical and Experimental Pragmatics should NOT be submitted via the EasyAbs platform; please follow https://sites.google.com/iusspavia.it/igg49/pre-conference-workshop?authuser=0).

When submitting an abstract, the author(s) should indicate whether they wish to be considered for an oral presentation, a poster, or both. Each oral presentation will be 20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute discussion.

- Abstracts should feature unpublished original research.
- Abstracts should be in PDF format.
- Abstracts should have a clear title and should not identify the author(s).
- Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages of letter-sized or A4 paper, including references and examples, with 1" or 2.5 cm margins, font size 12, single-spaced. References can be given in a shortened form (e.g., "Chomsky 1986 Barriers" instead of "Chomsky, Noam. 1986. Barriers. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press") -- provided this does not hinder the identification of the source -- and set in a smaller font (no less than 10 points).
- Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author.
