    Main text: UIL OTS YEARBOOK 2003

    Edited by Willemijn Heeren, Dimitra Papangeli and Evangelia Vlachou Published by Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS (UiL OTS), University of Utrecht

    We are very happy to present the UiL OTS Yearbook 2003. This year's volume is a collection of papers that were presented at the Uiltjesdagen 2003, the yearly PhD meeting at Utrecht University. It contains seven papers by young linguists who were working on their PhD dissertation at UiL OTS at the time of the meeting, and serves as a nice example of the kind of research that is being carried out by UiL OTS - at the PhD level. There is one extra paper, written by visiting researchers.

    The volume begins with the 'guest' paper, by Cole, Hermon and Aman, on Wh-questions in Malay. The next paper in the volume, by Botwinik-Rotem, is on PP-verbs and the phenomenon of obligatory Ps, followed by Heeren's discussion on the perceptual development of a new phoneme contrast in children. Olsvay contributes a paper on the syntax of operators, in which he gives an overt movement account of this phenomenon. Papangeli provides a syntactic analysis of impersonals, R�kosi discusses comitative arguments in Hungarian and Sadeh Leicht accounts for the sporadic occurrence of the garden path effect. Finally, Vlachou deals with maximality and the concessivity criterion.

    We hope that the readers will enjoy all the papers and at the same time appreciate the kind of research that is being done at UiL OTS by the young scholars.
