International Workshop
June 11-12, 2015
CLLE-ERSS (Université de Toulouse 2-Le Mirail)
https://sites.google.com/site/symila2015/home The goal of the SyMiLa (
http://blogs.univ-tlse2.fr/symila/) project is 1) to document (while it is still possible) the fine patterns of syntactic variation found in the endangered Romance languages of France (dialects of French or langue d'Oïl, of Occitan, of Francoprovençal or of Catalan), 2) to share our empirical results with the scientific community, and 3) to use these results to derive consequences for theoretical linguistics.
Within the context of the scientific activities associated with this ANR grant, we are organizing an international workshop on June 11-12, 2015. We therefore invite the submission of abstracts dealing with the syntactic description and/or the theoretical analysis of French Romance varieties and their immediate extensions (from a synchronic or diachronic perspective) for a 20 minute presentation, followed by a 10 minute discussion period. In the selection process, proposals that study the territory covered by the Atlas Linguistique de la France will be given priority; however, presentations that deal with other related dialects spoken in Europe, Africa or North America are also very welcome.
Invited Speakers:
Julie Auger (Indiana University)
Paola Benincà (Università degli Studi di Padova)
Organizing Committee Members:
Heather Burnett (CLLE-ERSS/IJN)
