Going Romance is the European conference series
that focuses on Romance languages from the
perspective of current linguistic
theorizing.
In the two decades of its existence, it has
developed into the major European discussion
forum for theoretically relevant research on
Romance languages where current ideas about
language in general and about Romance languages
in particular are discussed.
The twenty-eighth symposium on Romance
linguistics will be held in Lisbon at Faculdade
de Ciências Sociais e Humanas as a joint
initiative of the Linguitics centers of
Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Universidade de
Lisboa.
The conference includes two days of general
sessions, for which papers on all aspects and
disciplines of Romance linguistics are invited,
and three workshops with parallel sessions on
the third day. A joint plenary conference by
Luigi Rizzi will open the workshops
sessions.
Keynote Speakers:
