Meeting Description:
In both generative and functional writings, we
find lots of insightful generalizations about
the relationship between language form and
function, some of which are fully compatible
with one another while others are seemingly
not. Both approaches are hugely beneficial to
all researchers who are trying to uncover the
secrets of languages; and moreover, interfaces
between the different modules in the Language
Faculty (such as the syntax-pragmatics
interface), and interfaces between the Language
Faculty and the other cognitive systems in the
human brain, are hot issues in current
linguistic studies as well as in current
multidisciplinary studies. It is therefore
timely and important for scholars from all
relevant areas of the language sciences to come
together and present their latest research on
language form and function and to learn from
each other's recent insights. This is exactly
the goal of the ICLFF.
