The Colloquium on Generative Grammar (CGG) is an annual conference that has been held in a different university of Spain, Portugal, or France since 1991. The CGG is a conference where linguists from all over the world discuss current proposals on the syntax, semantics and phonology of natural languages and their interfaces within the Generative Grammar framework. The CGG is one of the main conferences on this topic held in Europe.
The 28th Colloquium on Generative Grammar (CGG28) will be held at the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, on May 30-June 1, 2018.
The conference will consist of a two-day main session (free topic) and will be preceded by a one-day thematic workshop on argument structure and linguistic processing.
