Rethinking Comparative Syntax (ReCoS)

Cambridge Comparative Syntax Conference (CamCoS) 2

ReCoS is happy to announce the second Cambridge Comparative Syntax conference! CamCoS 2 is the follow-up to 2012's successful first instalment of CamCoS.

CamCoS 2 will be a two-day event, running 10-11 May 2013. The first day will be a general comparative generative syntax conference. The Call for papers is available here.

The second day will feature invited speakers presenting their work in a certain area: focus. The central question regarding this topic is: ‘How can we know whether focus is represented in the narrow syntax?’

The invited speakers to CamCoS 2 are:

• Enoch Aboh (University of Amsterdam)
• Stavros Skopeteas (University of Bielefeld)
• Ad Neeleman and Hans van de Koot (University College London)
• David Beaver (University of Texas at Austin)
• Susanne Winkler (University of Tübingen)
• Aritz Irurtzun (CNRS)

The conference will take place 10-11 May 2013 at the University of Cambridge and is organised by the ReCoS team.
