AG7: Talk cancelled

The talk of Marius Albers ("Particle-prefix combinations in German verb-formation", 12:15 Uhr) unfortunately had to be cancelled.

Statement on the attack on the Ukraine

The invasion of the Ukraine by Russian troops last night is deeply shocking. The current developments cause us great concern and our thoughts are with the people in the crisis region. As organizers of the DGfS annual conference, we have asked ourselves whether a continuation of the conference is possible under these conditions. We have come to the conclusion that academic exchange and the opportunity for informal encounters among linguists from all over the world on our gathertown platform are especially important now, as they set a sign for a peaceful world capable of communication. The organizers of the 44. Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society in Tübingen

The Annual Conference 2022 will be held online

Thank you for your interest in the DGfS 2022! We would have loved to welcome you and likeminded linguaphiles in Tübingen for a long-awaited in-person conference. Unfortunately, circumstance has made this wish unrealistic: It is not to be expected that hygiene regulations in February will be such as to allow for a big conference to be hosted on our modest grounds. The virus- and emergency safety regulations combine so as to cut into what we know and love about the DGfS: Free hopping and exchange between the workshops, invigorating conversation during the coffee breaks – all this would have to be forbidden and/or heavily policed. Further, in light of the rising infection-rates, the University has explicitly reserved the right to withdraw warrants for in-person events on short notice. For the planning of a big international conference, this implies entropy of the sort we could not in good conscience extend to our visitors from afar. It is thus that we and the DGfS-committee have – with the heaviest of hearts –decided to hold the 44th annual DGfS conference online. We know this is hardly uplifting, but we do hope thus to ease your planning. It is the safest – indeed: the only way to ensure the event can take place at all. We are looking forward to welcoming you in great numbers. And we are excited for what is sure to be an intense, delightful, and inspiring conference in February!
