*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***


The Linguistic Association of Finland is organizing a symposium on

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS IN THE ANALYSIS OF
LINGUISTIC STRUCTURE


to be held at the University of Helsinki,
September 2-4, 1999.


The symposium will bring together linguists interested in all aspects
of language that relate to the relationship between syntax and
semantics (such as argument structure, other types of constructions,
linking, the role of context and lexical items, cognitive issues,
idioms etc.). The aim of the symposium is to discuss the analysis of
linguistic data as well as theoretical issues.  The focus will be on
linguistic phenomena rather than any particular descriptive
formalism. Participants are strongly encouraged to give a paper on any
aspect of the relation between syntax and semantics, as this is an
excellent opportunity to get feedback from others working in this
area.


Invited speakers:
Adele E. Goldberg (University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign)
Urpo Nikanne (University of Oslo)

Activities:
* lectures by invited speakers
