Meeting Description:
In the last two decades adpositions have
received a considerable amount of attention by
researchers from various perspectives,
interested in investigating the syntactic and
semantic properties of the various elements
that fall under, or are related to, the broad
category of adpositions, including
prepositions, postpositions, verb particles,
and cases. In recent years particular attention
has been devoted to the internal syntax and
semantics of spatial adpositions and PPs, with
case studies of a wide range of languages (e.g.
the papers in Asbury, Dotlačil, Gehrke and
Nouwen 2008 and Cinque and Rizzi 2010).
In this workshop we will discuss the syntax and
semantics of adpositions and PPs in the light
of recent research in the generative framework
on a variety of languages.
