The aim of SNAG2024 is to bring together researchers working on the interaction between negation and TAM. The specific focus will be on TAM-allomorphy conditioned by negation and on negative allomorphy conditioned by TAM. Both formal linguistic and typological submissions are welcome.

Invited speakers for SNAG2024:

Michal Starke (Masaryk University Brno)
Trang Phan (Ca' Foscari University of Venice)

We welcome submissions on the following topics:

Allomorphy in Sentential Negation conditioned by TAM
Allomorphy in TAM conditioned by Sentential Negation (e.g., neutralization of categories, finitness shifts, auxiliary insertions, suppletion)
Morphology of negation
Position(s) of negative marker(s) in syntax
Portmanteau formation in the domain of negation and TAM
The scope of modals and negation
