Meeting Description:
2005 LSA INSTITUTE WORKSHOP
Cambridge, MA, July 1, 2005
Emerson 101, Harvard Yard
The proper characterization of argument structure is a central question in
linguistic theory. One can contrast a projectionist approach according to which
verbs lexically determine the expression of their arguments, to a
constructionist approach according to which argument structure is constructed in
the syntax rather than being lexically determined. Alongside these approaches
one can also distinguish what has been referred to as the Davidsonian tradition
emphasizing the importance of events. Notwithstanding the substantial progress
achieved, several aspects of the properties of arguments structure and their
legibility at the semantic interface are yet to be fully understood. The purpose
of this workshop is thus to address questions on the form and the interpretation
of argument structure from different theoretical perspectives and to raise the
question of whether a novel integrated approach can be envisioned.
