On Oct. 17, The University of Missouri and Gent University proudly present a collaborative linguistic workshop on the topic of complementizer agreement, to be held on the Gent University campus. There will be 11 presentations addressing variation in how this grammatical phenomenon is manifested. Languages to be discussed range from European ones like Bavarian and West Flemish to Bantu languages of East Africa.
The complementizer agreement workshop is jointly hosted and organized by Dr. Vicki Carstens of MU and Dr. Liliane Haegeman, UGent. Plans for the workshop grew out of MU initiatives to found a sister school relationship between the two institutions with scholarly collaborations. The workshop has been made possible by funding from the Gent University rector’s office and from a variety of MU supporters including the Trans-Atlantic Center, the Office of International Studies, the Department of English, Provost Brian Foster, and A&S Dean Michael O’Brien.
