Meeting Description:
Invited Speakers: - Eric Reuland (Utrecht) - Patricia Cabredo-Hofherr (Paris/Surrey) - Uli Sauerland (Berlin)
Over the past few decades, research into syntactic and semantic binding has established itself as an important tradition that has contributed elegant solutions to various problems of interpretation at the syntax-semantics interface. Few theoretical notions have a range of application as broad as that of binding. Domains of investigation that have benefited greatly from insights into variable binding include reflexivity and reciprocity and, quite generally, the interpretation of (empty or overt) pronominals; argument structure and voice; matters of tense, aspect and modality as explored in event semantics or possible-worlds semantics; quantification relating to arguments as well as adverbials; and the interpretation of information- structural categories such as focus and contrast. In all of these areas, a reasonable association of syntactic structures with semantic representations is hardly conceivable without the binding concept. It seems fair to say that binding is one of the most important theoretical concepts in linguistic analysis, and thus, by hypothesis, also a central principle in the architecture of human language.
