Meeting Description:

The workshop 'Bare nouns and Genericity' will be held at the Université Paris Diderot - Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle - UMR 7110 CNRS on October 7th-8th, 2010.The workshop is organized by the bilateral project CAPES/COFECUB 2008-2012 Bare Nouns in Brazilian Portuguese at the syntax-semantics interface, between the Université Paris Diderot (resp.

The workshop will consist of about 10 talks by researchers involved in the above-mentioned research project, while 10 slots will be allocated to selected talks (30 min. + 10 min. for discussion) by external participants.
