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. The 23rd instantiation of DiGS will be hosted at New York University, NY, USA; DiGS23 is organized by Profs. Ailis Cournane & Gary Thoms.
The invited speakers are Lieven Danckaert (Université de Lille) and Tamisha Tan (Harvard University, Invited Student).
There will also be a special workshop on “Child learners in syntactic change: theory and methods'' with invited speaker Kathryn Schuler (University of Pennsylvania). The idea that child learners play a role in language change phenomena dates back over 100 years, and has been central to explanation in the DiGS community; this workshop aims to put child language theory and methods front and center in the discussion of syntactic change phenomena.
We aim to make the conference hybrid if at all possible, but need to plan at the moment as if it is online. As NYU updates policies for in-person events, we will keep the DiGS23 community posted.
Call for Papers:
DiGS23 and the workshop “Child learners in syntactic change: theory and methods'' are now accepting submissions for oral and poster presentations! Abstracts should be no longer than two US Letter pages (minimum font size: 12pt), including examples and references. Exception: Additional lines needed for glossing and translating non-English data will not be counted against the page limit.
Please submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digs23
The deadline for abstract submission is 7 January 2022 23:59 EST.
