GenWH 2018
The Geneva WH-orkshop on Optional Insituness
(More info on the dedicated website: https://genwh2018.wordpress.com/)
Many scholars have tried to explain optional insituness, but no account has provided an explanation that is both theoretically satisfying and cross-linguistically valid yet. The Geneva WH-orkshop on Optional Insituness (GenWH 2018) aims at bringing together academics from all around the world, thus creating a privileged discussion space on the subject of Optional Insituness.
