PhD student Alex Kramer, Assistant Professor Savi Namboodiripad, and Natalia Levshina, Language Scientist at the MPI (Nijmegen), are co-organizing a virtual workshop, set for August 26-27, titled “New Perspectives on Word Order Flexibility,” in association with the 2020 annual meeting of Societas Linguistica Europeae (SLE) conference.
The workshop brings together novel research on variation in word and constituent order, asking about the range of cross-linguistic variation, the sources of this variation, and the methods that might be most appropriate to capture it. The papers represent a wide range of languages and methodological approaches, and each abstract considers what can be learned and what new questions can now be posed by taking a gradient approach to flexible word/constituent order (eg. Futrell et al. 2015, Levshina 2019, Namboodiripad 2017, 2019).
The workshop will take place on Zoom over two days in order to accommodate our speakers, who are located around the world.
