			 CALL FOR PAPERS

Twenty years after the publication in Linguistic Inquiry of Richard Kayne
and Jean-Yves Pollock's influential article on Stylistic Inversion, the
University of Amsterdam will host a workshop on inversion in the Romance

insights the last twenty years have produced with respect to the syntactic
and interpretative principles that govern inversion and the way they
interact.
