We are glad to announce the IV Catalan Linguistics at Oxford Day - CLOx26, which will bring together researchers in the linguistics of Catalan to discuss their research and encourage collaboration amongst all those working on this language, in a friendly and productive atmosphere. The meeting will be held in the historic Taylor Institution Library. Our invited speaker this year is Dr. Jaume Mateu (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), a key figure in the syntax-semantics of Catalan.
The topic of CLOx26 is syntax and its interfaces. As such, we invite proposals on any aspect of Catalan syntax or its interfaces with other grammatical components: semantics (lexical or sentential), morphology, or phonology (segmental or prosodic), pragmatics. We welcome contributions with well-defined perspectives: theoretical, descriptive, dialectological, synchronic/diachronic, sociolinguistic, experimental, or language-acquisition/learning. Comparative work involving other languages is also possible as long as Catalan constitutes the main object of study.
