GraModAT

The GraModAT (Grammaticalization of Mood, Aspect and Tense) is a workshop with the goal of bringing together research from different fields of linguistics with a shared focus on grammaticalization phenomena in the verbal domain. To that end, several speakers, both internal to Georg-August-University Göttingen and external, were invited to share insights from different languages.
