The 28th Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar

The 28th Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar (SICGG 2026) is a long-running annual conference hosted in Seoul that brings together syntacticians from around the world working within generative frameworks—including Minimalism, HPSG, and related theories—to present and debate the latest advances in the formal analysis of grammatical structure.

Linguists studying phenomena such as movement, ellipsis, binding, agreement, and clause structure across typologically diverse languages present work that tests and refines generative theory using both formal argumentation and experimental data. Graduate students benefit from exposure to international research perspectives and direct engagement with leading scholars. The Seoul location makes SICGG a particularly important venue for East Asian syntax research, and the conference has a strong tradition of bringing together scholars from Asia, Europe, and the Americas in productive dialogue.
