BieLeiCos 2025

We are delighted to announce BieLeiCoS 2025, a workshop on Comparative Syntax organized by the universities of Bielefeld and Leiden. The two day workshop will take place at Bielefeld University, Germany, on Thursday 22 May and Friday 23 May 2025.

Invited speaker:  Theresa Biberauer (University of Cambridge, Stellenbosch University)

There will be two panel sessions on Thursday afternoon:

• Panel on Comparative Syntax and Typology: András Bárány (The University of Edinburgh)
• Panel on Corpus Methodology and Resources: Anne Breitbarth (Ghent University)

Submission information:

For the general comparative syntax session, we invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations (+ 10 min discussion) on any topic in comparative generative syntax.

We particularly welcome papers explicitly addressing synchronic or diachronic properties of un(der)studied varieties and/or phenomena, and papers concerned with more general questions, concerning, e.g., the relation between comparative syntax and linguistic typology, syntax-interface mappings, and our understanding of language as a cognitive system. We also encourage papers concerned with methodologies for modern comparative generative syntax.

Anonymous abstracts should not exceed 800 words excluding references. Please use 12-point Times New Roman font, with single spacing and margins of at least 2.54cm/1 inch. Abstracts should be uploaded in pdf format via EasyAbstracts here: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/BieLeiCoS/
