[Histling-l] DiGS26 - Call for Papers

[DiGS 26 Oxford]

Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce that the 26th edition of the Diachronic Generative Syntax conference<https://www.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk/digs26> (DiGS26) will be held at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom) from June, 23rd to June, 26th 2025. Since its first edition in 1990, DiGS has established itself as the leading venue for the formal investigation of syntactic change in the generative framework.

The conference will feature a half-day workshop entitled ‘Investigating diachronic syntax with less-documented and unwritten languages: methods and theory’, which will take place on June, 23rd. The objectives of this workshop will be to discuss how to approach languages that do not boast a long or rich literary tradition and apply contemporary theoretical tools to study their syntactic evolution. The workshop’s keynote speaker will be Dr Jenneke Van der Wal, specialist in African languages and linguistics. For the workshop, we especially welcome proposals featuring underrepresented languages in the diachronic generative syntax tradition.

This year’s plenary speakers are Anne Breitbarth<https://research.flw.ugent.be/en/anne.breitbarth> (Universiteit Gent), Pierre Larrivée<https://www.iufrance.fr/les-membres-de-liuf/membre/2346-pierre-larrivee.html> (Université de Caen), Ana Maria Martins<https://www.clul.ulisboa.pt/en/pessoa/anamartins> (Universidade de Lisboa), and Jenneke van der Wal <https://jennekevanderwal.com/> (Universiteit Leiden).

The call for papers is now open for the workshop and the general session.
