Following the successful NP1 workshop, held in Vigo on 2-3 October 2009, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Vigo-Newcastle-Santiago-Leuven International Workshop on 'The Structure of the Noun Phrase in English – Synchronic and Diachronic Explorations' (NP2), to be held at Newcastle University (UK) on 15 and 16 September 2011.

David Denison (University of Manchester)
Organisers:
The Centre for Research in Linguistics and Language Sciences (CRiLLS) at Newcastle University (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/linguistics/).
Call for Papers:
This workshop aims to bring together linguists currently looking at any aspect of the English noun phrase from any point of view (syntactic, pragmatic, structural, functional, textual, descriptive, synchronic or diachronic). We would therefore like to invite presentations concerned with any topic involving NPs, including the following:
- Relationship between NP-internal structure and the clausal function of NPs
- NP types, including binominal phrases, discontinuous NPs and possessive constructions
- Structural representation of NPs and their constituents
- Strategies of premodification, postmodification and complementation in the NP
- Headedness and NPs
- Implications of particular theoretical frameworks for NP structure
- Diachronic, syntactic, cognitive and/or construction-based perspectives on any of the above
