Objective

The Formal Linguistics Meeting in Mexico (ELF) aims to bring together researchers and graduate students working under formal approaches to the study of language to promote the discussion of ideas on language phenomena and their theoretical implications. We invite submission of abstracts for presentations that have as a theoretical basis any of the formal linguistic approaches (Minimalism, Optimality Theory, Formal Semantics, Distributed Morphology, HPSG, among others) to the analysis of linguistic phenomena at different grammatical levels (Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Morphology, Phonology, and Interface studies).
