The Center for Research in Syntax, Semantics, and Phonology (CRISSP) of KU Leuven is proud to host the REEDS-workshop Displaced Dialects, to be held on 19–20 November 2026 in Leuven. The workshop focuses on formal, (historical) sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic approaches to heritage dialect syntax.
This two‐day workshop brings together scholars from formal, (historical) sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic backgrounds to discuss topics on heritage dialect syntax (or grammar more broadly). Bringing these scholars together will create possibilities to discuss novel methodologies, theoretical insights and challenges, and might enable future interdisciplinary collaborations to expand our knowledge of heritage dialect syntax, with a specific focus on the syntax of (non‐standard) varieties which are spoken in locations away from the homeland.
