SICOGG26/WAFL18 Call for Papers

WAFL 18 and SICOGG 26 will host a joint conference August 22-24, 2024 at Jeonbuk National University in Jeonju, South Korea. The special theme of the conference is “Comparative Altaic Grammar”. Abstracts are invited for 20-minute in-person talks (plus 10-minute discussions) and for posters from all areas of generative grammar, which may include phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, the syntax-pragmatics interface, the syntax-semantics interface, the syntax-morphology interface, the syntax-phonology interface, acquisition, and any other topic related to generative grammar. The term 'Altaic' is understood to include Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic languages, as well as Korean, Jejueo, Japanese, Ryukyuan, and Ainu. In keeping with our theme preference will be given to submissions that address either (i) comparative investigations within Altaic languages, or (ii) comparative investigations between Altaic and non-Altaic languages.
