The National Science Foundation will support the 19th annual Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop (CGSW), to be hosted by The Graduate Center of The City University of New York on June 3-5, 2004. CGSW is a major international conference, widely recognized as the world's premier venue for generative linguists studying the syntax (sentence structure) of the Germanic languages, organized on an annual basis since 1984. This year's edition will feature a special focus on variation across Dutch and English dialects, with keynote addresses by Professors Hans Bennis and Alison Henry. Professor Bennis, the director of the P.J. Meertens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, will report specifically on the recent completion of the first volume of the syntactic atlas of the dialects of Dutch, a major milestone in comparative Germanic syntax. Professor Henry, an internationally renowned specialist on syntactic variation in English, will report on ongoing research on the differences between standard English and its dialects, focusing particularly on Belfast English. Alongside the two keynote addresses, the program includes sixteen papers selected by a peer-review process, presented by linguists from six European countries and the United States. The complete program as well as other important information about the event is accessible on-line at: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/lingu/events/CGSW19/index.html.In current theoretical research, studies that compare the linguistic phenomena of different languages play a pivotal role in establishing and refining the theoretical machinery. Comparative linguistic research conducted within the confines of a particular language family has proved particularly conducive to answering detailed questions about the universal principles and language-particular parameters (i.e., points where languages differ from each other). The Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop is the primary forum for the dissemination of research results in the domain of syntactic variation within the Germanic language family, as well as variation between the Germanic languages and other languages. The program of CGSW19 features comparative studies on the Scandinavian languages, Dutch and German and their dialects, syntactic variation in English (including diachronic variation), differences between Germanic and other languages (such as Bangla, French and Greek), as well as the acquisition of the Germanic languages by (first or second language) learners - a state-of-the-art palette of ongoing research on syntactic variation within and beyond the Germanic language family, furthering the development of generative syntactic theory.

美国国家科学基金会将支持第19届年度比较日耳曼语法研讨会（CGSW），该研讨会将于2004年6月3日至5日由纽约城市大学研究生中心主办。CGSW是一个重要的国际会议，被广泛认为是世界上研究日耳曼语言语法（句子结构）的生成语言学家的首要场所，自1984年以来每年举办一次。今年的版本将特别关注荷兰语和英语方言的变化，由汉斯·本尼斯教授和艾莉森·亨利教授发表主题演讲。本尼斯教授是荷兰皇家科学院P.J. Meertens研究所所长，他将专门报告最近完成的荷兰方言句法图谱第一卷，这是比较日耳曼语法的一个重要里程碑。亨利教授是国际知名的英语句法变化专家，他将报告正在进行的关于标准英语和方言之间差异的研究，特别关注贝尔法斯特英语。除了两场主题演讲外，该计划还包括通过同行评议程序选出的16篇论文，这些论文由来自六个欧洲国家和美国的语言学家发表。完整的节目和其他重要的信息可以在网上访问：http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/lingu/events/CGSW19/index.html.In当前的理论研究，比较不同语言的语言现象的研究在建立和完善理论机制方面起着关键作用。在特定语系范围内进行的比较语言学研究已被证明特别有助于回答有关普遍原则和语言特定参数（即语言彼此不同的点）的详细问题。比较日耳曼语法研讨会是传播日耳曼语系内部句法变化以及日耳曼语言与其他语言之间句法变化领域研究成果的主要论坛。CGSW19的课程特色是对斯堪的纳维亚语、荷兰语和德语及其方言的比较研究，英语的句法变化（包括历时变化），日耳曼语与其他语言（如孟加拉语、法语和希腊语）的差异，以及（第一或第二语言）学习者对日耳曼语言的习得——这是对日耳曼语族内外句法变化的最新研究。促进生成句法理论的发展。
