The Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop is a theoretically-oriented forum for dealing with all aspects of comparative Germanic syntax, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. This year, we also encourage submissions that use experimental methods to investigate issues in formal Germanic syntax.
We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts for in-person 30-minute talks, including discussion.
