We are pleased to announce that the 24th Diachronic Generative Syntax conference (DiGS24) will be held at the University Paris Cité (France) from July 4-7, 2023.
Since its first installment in 1991, DiGS has established itself as one of the world’s leading venues for the formal investigation of syntactic change. More information about the history (and near future) of this conference series can be found at http://walkden.space/digs/.
