Meeting Description:
Specificity from Theoretical and Empirical Points of View
Stuttgart - 31. August - 2. September 2010
Ongoing research on different aspects of specificity has contributed to a
better understanding of the referential potential of indefinite noun phrases
at the semantics-pragmatics interface. Furthermore, many studies have
established a considerable body of cross-linguistic expressions and
constructions that can be related to different types of specificity. The close
interaction of in-depth description of particular linguistic phenomena and
contrasts with theoretical models of specificity has been very fruitful.
However, there are still many open questions, such as
1. how are the different types of specificity related to each other?
2. what are the interactions of specificity with other semantic-pragmatic
categories such as referentiality, definiteness and genericity?
3. what is the exact range of linguistic phenomena related to specificity and
what are reliable tests?
4. can we associate different ways of encoding specificity, i.e. by lexical
items, by morphology, by syntax, by phonology etc. with distinct properties
of specificity?
