Meeting Description:
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers working on
disharmonic (i.e. mixed head-initial and head-final) word orders from both
theoretical and empirical perspectives. The conference is funded by the
AHRC through the project 'Structure and Linearisation in Disharmonic Word
Orders' (AH/E009239/1)
