Special Session on Parsed Corpora of Romance Languages:
Alongside providing a general platform for dissemination of research on Romance linguistics, the LSRL43 organizers would like to place a special focus on an important emerging area of research in Romance: Parsed Corpora. Our Special Session on Parsed Corpora of Romance Languages will be a Plenary event, so that all conference participants will have the opportunity to learn about some of the most exciting advances in syntax which are based on these very recently created and innovative tools. Invited speakers for the Special Plenary Session are:
- Charlotte Galves, University of Campinas
- Anthony Kroch and Beatrice Santorini, University of Pennsylvania
- Ana Maria Martins, University of Lisbon
In the spirit of this focus, we welcome abstract submissions for regular parallel session (20-minute) talks, which are on research based on Parsed Corpora in the Romance languages.
