Meeting Description:
Converging Linguistics and Cognitive Science: Nominal Systems across Languages
The workshop is organized by M. Teresa Espinal (Universitat Autonoma de
Barcelona) and Klaus von Heusinger (Universität Stuttgart). It is hosted by
Centre de Linguistica Teorica of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.
This workshop aims at understanding linguistic variation of nominal systems
across several languages, bringing together syntacticians and semanticists. The
novelty of the workshop is to explore noun phrases, their structure and
interpretation, from a comparative-syntax perspective and a formal semantics
approach. Special attention will be devoted to microvariation effects on the
expression of 'number' and 'definiteness'.
The workshop will explore three different and related topics to be analysed in
order to achieve a broad crosslinguistic understanding of nominal systems in
natural languages, both from a morphosyntactic and a semantic perspective.
Topics:
Bare nominals (singulars and plurals): their structure and interpretation.
Number neutrality.
Number: its structure and interpretation. Gender and Person.
Definiteness: reference, specificity and genericity.
