Second Announcement
(Now with information on registration and the programme!)
Date: 12 -13 May 2011
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Conference Website: http://www.gist.ugent.be/cartographicstructures
GIST is proud to announce Cartographic Structures and Beyond, to take
place on 12 and 13 May 2011 at Ghent University. This two day event will
bring together a number of senior and junior linguists whose work shares
the ultimate goal of showing how the linguistic data - both diachronic and
synchronic - drawn from a number of diverse languages shed light on the
general theory of language, and reciprocally, how the theory sheds new
light on the linguistic data. One aim of the conference will be that of
showcasing recent work in the tradition of cartography and nanosyntax and
in particular, presenting the progress made in elaborating the structural map
of the clause and its constituents and on the 'syntactization' of the
interpretive domains. Other papers will explore ways of integrating
constraints on movement and/or on structure building with the functional
hierarchies that have been established in the cartographic tradition. The
latter theme is also the focus of the FWO-funded research project Layers of
Structure and the Cartography Project at Ghent University
http://www.gist.ugent.be/projectdescription. The PhD students involved in
this research project will also be presenting their own work at this event.
The 2011 event at Ghent University is conceived of as the launch of a
yearly gathering at a number of European institutions.
The following linguists have agreed to participate at the event: talks have
been confirmed:
Enoch Aboh (University of Amsterdam)
