Com(parative) Syn(tax) Series

ComSyn is a series of lectures about (comparative) syntax.

ComSyn started out as discussion group about Comparative Syntax at Leiden University Center for Linguistics (LUCL). It has since grown into a series of lectures about (Comparative) Syntax. Speakers from all over the world are welcome to present their work in an informal setting. ComSyn is the perfect place to present work in progress, do a dry run for a conference, or simply share a syntactic puzzle with fellow linguists. If you have any suggestions, please contact one of the organizers — Maarten Bogaards, Irina Morozova and Stéphane Térosier.

The Spring 2024 season of ComSyn talks runs from February till July at the usual timeslot: Thursdays, 16.15-17.30 (CET).
