Meeting Description:
The seminar series 'Current Issues in Formal Linguistics', conducted by
internationally outstanding researchers, intends to present recent research in
four key areas of theoretical linguistics: syntax, semantics, morphology and
interfaces with the lexicon and the 'performance'. The seminars are divided in
four modules:
I. Current Trends in Syntactic Theory (by Cedric Boeckx)
II. Topics in the Semantics of Modification (by Louise McNally)
III. Distributed Morphology: Selected Topics on Mixed Category Formation (by
Artemis Alexiadou)
IV. Syntax and Prosody (by Maria Luisa Zubizarreta)
The Seminars are aimed at graduate students and young researchers, as well as
professors and advanced researchers, who will be able to extend or upgrade their
knowledge in the specific subjects that will be addressed. Participants will
have the opportunity to maintain brief meetings with the guest lecturers if
requested in advance.
'Current Issues in Formal Linguistics' is organized by the research group
Linguistics and Cognitive Science of the Center for Humanities and Social
Sciences (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas, Spain) and is
included the program of the Department of Postgraduate Studies and
Specialization of the CSIC.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
