\nThe GLIMS and EQTIS research units at Ghent University will host a two-day international symposium on new advances in research on syntactic variation on 19-20 May 2016. The event is a follow-up to the first\u00a0New Ways of Analyzing Syntactic Variation<\/i>\u00a0symposium that took place at the Radboud University Nijmegen in November 2012. Its overall purpose is to stimulate discussion and interaction between researchers bringing\u00a0new theoretical and\/or methodological expertise to the linguistic study of syntactic variation<\/strong>, broadly construed.<\/p>\nSyntactic variation is a multidimensional concept: it can refer to the existence (in a single language variety) of several syntactic patterns or constructions “competing” for the same functional space (i.e, to\u00a0grammatical alternations<\/strong>), or to any kind of sociolinguistic or “lectal” variation in the formal and\/or functional properties of syntactic patterns, along regional, social, diachronic, stylistic, ethnic, gender, etc. dimensions (i.e., to\u00a0syntactic patterns or constructions as sociolinguistic variables<\/strong>), or to a combination of both.<\/p>\nSyntactic variation is a major area of research in different schools of linguistics \u2013 including, but not limited to, construction grammar and related usage-based approaches, generative grammar, variationist sociolinguistics (cf. the advent of socio-syntax), psycholinguistics, language acquisition research, and computational linguistics\/NLP \u2013 and has accordingly been approached from quite divergent theoretical and methodological perspectives. A common trend in all of these approaches is the\u00a0increasing use of advanced methods and tools<\/strong>for the compilation and analysis of empirical data. In addition, there is a growing consensus that linguistic argumentation demands\u00a0converging evidence based on an interdisciplinary approach<\/strong>\u00a0and a growing body of work hence combines multiple empirical approaches to tackle one and the same linguistic phenomenon (e.g. combining advanced corpus analyses with survey and psycholinguistic experimental designs).<\/p>\nNWASV2 offers a forum for original work on syntactic variation, in any language or (present or historical) language variety \u2013 or varieties, for that matter \u2013 and from any theoretical perspective, in which an awareness of\u00a0recent theoretical insights and advances<\/strong>\u00a0is paired with a concern for appropriate\u00a0empirical validation, methodological innovation and interdisciplinarity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Ways of Analyzing Syntactic Variation 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":0,"parent":403,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8233","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","bnm-entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8233"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16883,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8233\/revisions\/16883"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uclouvain.be\/bkl-cbl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
