As we could not hold a DS conference last year, we will instead be having an online DS day at the end of the PhD course, June 1st 9.00--13.00 (Central European Time).
All authors of abstracts that were accepted to the postponed DS conference 2020 will be invited to present and discuss their work (or new work if they have moved on in the intervening year!)
More details to follow.
The University of Bergen in Norway is hosting an online PhD course on Dynamic Syntax via Zoom from May 21- June 1, 2021. Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism which aims to capture the real-time parsing and production of language. The course will be of particular interest to those working in syntax, semantics, and the syntax-semantics interface, as well as natural language modelling and computational linguistics, but is open to all!
This course is being funded by the Norwegian Graduate Researcher School in Linguistics and Philology (https://www.ntnu.edu/lingphil).
Any interested PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher who is currently enrolled or employed at a university is welcome to register and take part in the course. All participants who attend the course and complete the assignment will be awarded a certificate of completion worth an equivalent of 5 ECTS. Participants will be asked to evaluate the course upon completion.
Instructors: Professor Miriam Bouzouita, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany; Dr. Hannah Gibson, University Essex, UK; and Professor Lutz Marten, SOAS University of London
Course organizers: Tori Larsen and Professor Christer Johansson, University of Bergen, Norway

If you would like to register for the course, please do so using the link provided on the course website. You will be asked to submit a 300-350 word abstract about your current research when registering. The registration deadline is April 30th, 2021. There are no fees associated with the course.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Tori Larsen at .
Given the current corona crisis, it will come as no surprise to anyone that PhD course in Bergen scheduled for May 4th-7th and the fourth DS conference in Oxford, scheduled for May 22nd and 23rd, will not be taking place as planned.
We hope to be able to reschedule these for later in the year, but may also explore virtual solutions if it becomes clear that this is not possible.
Watch this space.
Julian Hough and Arash Eshghi presented a course using Dynamic Syntax at ESSLLI 2019.
