Meeting Description:

Following the success of SWIGG 2009, we are happy to announce this year's workshop on formal syntax and semantics KWIGG - SWIGG 10, which will be held at the University of Konstanz from April 9th to April 10th 2010.

The aim of the workshop is to promote a discussion among syntacticians and semanticists on analyses of various linguistic phenomena and, most importantly, to encourage doctoral students to present their own research and / or works-in-progress. This will be an excellent opportunity to disseminate research and to become acquainted with new research developments in the domains of syntax and semantics.
