WORKSHOP ON SUBJECT,
TOPIC AND CLAUSAL ARCHITECTURE

The Linguistics Graduate Program (PPGL) from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis-SC, Brazil, has the honor to announce that the Workshop on Subject, Topic and Clausal Architecture, invites professor Anna CARDINALETTI , from Ca' Foscari University of Venice, professor Ian ROBERTS from University of Cambridge, to discuss contemporary syntax issues and their interfaces. This workshop is a homage to the 20th years of the Núcleo de Estudos Gramaticais (NEG - https://neg-ufsc.org/) from UFSC.

The Workshop will be held from November 11 to November 14, 2019, at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC -, in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. The Workshop, November 13-14, accepts up to 15 communications, and 20 posters. It is preceded by a two days school where the invited speakers will talk about their researches. Participants receive certificates of 6-hour credits for each one of the mini-courses. The school is from the 11 to the 12. Please check the website for more information.

We invite abstract submissions, for 30 minutes talks or poster sessions, devoted to theoretical approaches to natural language syntax and interfaces - especially we would like to examine the subject properties and their repercussions for the architecture of the clause. We welcome contributions from all frameworks and approaches, including synchronic, diachronic, data-driven, corpora, discourse, typological, and theoretical analyses.

Abstracts should be anonymous and must include theoretical framework, hypotheses and objectives of the presentation. They should not be longer than two pages, including references and examples, with margins of at least 1-inch, 12pt Times New Roman. One person can submit at most one abstract as sole author and one abstract as co-author; or two co-authored abstracts. Please submit abstracts via EasyChair no later than June 23, 2019. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether you would like it to be considered for a talk, a poster or both.

Letters of acceptance will be sent mid-August, 2019.
