The Linguistic Evidence conference series is a meeting place for linguists who wish to improve the empirical adequacy of linguistic theory and linguistic analysis. A central aim is to more closely integrate data-driven and theory-driven approaches to the study of language systems, language behaviour, and language functions. Interdisciplinary work in which linguists cooperate with academics in adjacent fields is particularly welcome. The first Linguistic Evidence was held in 2004, the 2016 conference, which took place in Tübingen from 18 to 20 February 2016, was the eighth conference in the series. The selected online proceedings comprise both (invited) talks and posters. For more information about Linguistic Evidence 2016 and past as well as future conferences, please visit our website here.
