Going Romance 24 will take place in Leiden (Netherlands) on December 9- 10 2010 and will be followed by the Going Romance Workshop 'Non- Romance features in Romance languages' on December 11 2010. The invited speakers for Going Romance 24 are: Ana Arregui João Costa Rita Manzini Tobias Scheer Call For Papers Non-Romance features in Romance languages We invite papers that provide a theoretical account of non-Romance features attested in Romance languages. By 'non-Romance features', we refer to morphosyntactic, semantic and phonological properties of Romance that transcend Romance proper, in the sense that they are attested in non- Romance languages as well, suggesting a common, more fundamental account in terms of the theory of grammar. Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion). Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two pages, including references and examples, with margins of at least 1-inch, font size 12, single spaced. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author and should be submitted to: goingromance2010gmail.com. Authors are asked to submit their abstracts as PDF e-mail attachments. The abstract should include the title, but not the author's name(s). The title of the paper, name of the author(s), affiliation(s), address, phone number, and e-mail address should be included in the e-mail message. Please indicate whether you submit your paper for the general sessions or for the workshop. All authors who present their work at the conference will be invited to submit their paper for the peer reviewed volume in the Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory series, published by John Benjamins.
