Meeting Description:

The Diachronic Generative Syntax (DiGS) conference is a forum for people to present work on diachronic and historical syntax that is informed by, and informs, generative syntactic theory.

There will also be a satellite workshop on ”Syntactic change in progress”.

We invite submissions for oral and poster presentations for the Diachronic Generative Syntax Conference in Konstanz, Germany, May 2020. Submissions should be in the area of historical and diachronic syntax, taking a generative approach; ”generative” is here understood broadly so as to include frameworks such as LFG and HPSG as well as e.g. Minimalist, cartographic, and/or nanosyntactic approaches.

Abstracts should be no longer than two A4 pages (minimum font size: 12pt), including examples and references.
