Meeting Description:
The relation of predication is
fundamental to natural language semantics and syntax. No meaningful utterance can do
without it: fragments which only feature an argument on the surface have an
underlying structure in which a predicate for it is structurally represented and
interpreted semantically, though not phonologically. But despite its omnipresence,
both in language and in the linguistics literature, predication continues to give
rise to heated debates on many central questions in semantics and syntax. This
workshop addresses the relationship between syntax and semantics in predication, to
determine whether all instances of predication can be captured under a uniform
syntactic or semantic mechanism, and to explore new instantiations of and
restrictions on predication.
