summaryThe main objective of the workshop is to bring together specialists from a number of different but related fields to discuss the construct of linguistic complexity and how it is typically measured in their respective research fields. The event will be structured around keynote presentations by five distinguished scholars: *   Philippe Blache (CNRS & Universite d'Aix-Marseille, France):     Evaluating complexity in syntax: a computational model for a     cognitive architecture. *   Alex Housen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium): L2 complexity - A Difficult(y) Matter. *   Frederick J. Newmeyer (University of Washington, University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University): The question of linguistic complexity: historical perspective. *   Advaith Siddharthan (University of Aberdeen, UK): Automatic Text     Simplification and Linguistic Complexity Measurements. *   Benedikt Szmrercsanyi (KULeuven, Belgium): Measuring complexity in     contrastive linguistics and contrastive dialectology. A round table will close the workshop.
