Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Meeting Description:
The proposed workshop aims to cross-examine the structures of clausal and nominal complements, both in monolingual and bilingual contexts.
The emphasis of the workshop is on the left periphery of complements. The presentations will therefore focus on (a) the left periphery of the clause, a domain in which languages may be parametrized differently, leading to linguistic variation (Chomsky 1995, Rizzi 1997, Poletto & Pollock 1999, Belletti 2001, Haegeman 2003, Saito 2010, to name a few) and (b) the nominal phrase and its edge (Laenzlinger 2005, Giusti 2006, Ihsane 2008, Polletto 2014, and others).
The theme of the workshop also includes the left periphery of bilingual grammar, a topic that generative linguists started to pay attention to in recent years, especially in relation to diverse patterns of code-switching, a linguistic phenomenon of mixing two (or more) languages by bi- or multi-lingual speakers. The results of code-switching research show that the left periphery of a particular functional category such as C, D, or v is the locus of parametric variation, deriving certain patterns of code-switching (Liceras et al., 2005, Liceras 2009, Eichler et al., 2012, González-Vilbazo & López 2012, Shim 2013, Parafita Couto et al. 2015). Thus, they strongly confirm the validity of the linguistic theories proposed to account for monolingual grammar in the field of generative grammar.
