Small primitives, big syntax 2027
Small primitives, big syntax (Workshop at DGfS 2027)
The DGfS 2027 in Jena workshop 'Small primitives, big syntax' is organized by the Potsdam Morpho-Syntax Lab and focuses on syntactic theories that employ minimal, universal primitives to account for complex syntactic phenomena across languages. It invites contributions exploring how simple building blocks can generate rich syntactic structures, bridging formal syntax, typology, and language acquisition.
