27-28 October 2003, Seventh Workshop on Optimality Theory Syntax (WOTS 7)
The Workshops on Optimality Theory Syntax (WOTS) played an important role in the past years for bringing together linguists sharing an interest in OT syntax. They provided excellent opportunities for researchers pioneering in OT syntax to present their work in progress and they provided a matrix for lively discussions and fruitful collaboration among those researchers and other participants. This year for the first time WOTS is organized outside Germany, which indicates its still growing international character.
For more information, see the workshop's webpage at http://www.kun.nl/pionier/wots7.htmWe welcome abstracts for 45-minute talks on any topic in OT syntax. Papers that deal with the syntax-semantics interface and papers that take a perspective on synchronic and diachronic variation are especially welcome. Deadline for abstract submission is August 15th, 2003.
14-20 August 2003, Logic Colloquium 2003 (ASL European Summer Meeting), Helsinki, Finland
