Date: 19-Mar-2012 From: Antje Lahne <antje.lahneuni-konstanz.de> Subject: Workshop on Structure Building E-mail this message to a friend Workshop on Structure Building Date: 13-Apr-2012 - 14-Apr-2012 Location: Konstanz, Germany Contact: Antje Lahne Contact Email: < click here to access email > Meeting URL: http://www.uni-konstanz.de/lahne/structurebuilding.html Linguistic Field(s): Syntax Meeting Description: The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on issues in syntactic structure building, discuss new ideas about the building up of syntactic structures, and to gain a broader empirical base relevant to the issue. Among the topics discussed are the following: -- Locality effects, anti-locality effects -- Alternatives / optionalities in syntax -- Core grammar vs. peripheral principles in structure building -- How can an explanatory overlap between relative and absolute locality be avoided? -- Can relative locality be derived as a direct consequence of syntactic structure building? (If so, how?) Invited Speakers: Klaus Abels David Adger Gereon Müller Halldór Sigurdsson This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
