LAST CALL FOR PAPERS Deadline March 1, 2006 Workshop Concord Phenomena and the Syntax Semantics Interface http://www.heddezeijlstra.nl/cpssi.htm August 7 -- 11, 2006
organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information ESSLLI 2006 http://esslli2006.lcc.uma.es/ 31 July - 11 August, 2006 in Malaga, Spain *Concord Phenomena* In natural languages a functional operation can be manifested more than once in the morphosyntax of one sentence. Most notable are the phenomena of negative concord (where several negative elements contribute to one negation) and sequence of tense phenomena, where the same happens in the temporal domain. Similar observations can be made regarding the domain of mood, case-agreement, multiple Wh, and conditional sentences. On a general and intuitive level, the similarities are striking. *Thematic Questions* These phenomena have each been studied in various domains, from both an empirical and a theoretical point of view. With this workshop we want to solicit contributions which approach the phenomena from a general, cross-categorial perspective: across the various domains, theoretical, and typological as well. Thematic questions: What should be the logical form of those constructions? To what extent (at what cost) does it allow for a compositional treatment? How similar and how general are the phenomena really? What do these phenomena tell us about the model of grammar? More details can be found on our website. Deadline for submissions: March 1, by email to either one of the organizers mentioned below.
