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)
