/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>Over the past 40 years, ellipsis has
centred the attention of many scholars aiming at explaining the
mismatch between meaning (the intended message) and sound (what is
actually uttered) that ellipsis evinces in natural language
communication. By using ellipsis and by relying on the context and on
the ability of our interlocutors to decipher what has been omitted,
one can avoid redundancy and repetition. The 'mechanism' of ellipsis
has thus become a central issue of debate for researchers working on
semantics, syntax, pragmatics and psycholinguistics. This workshop
aims at bringing together researchers who are currently looking at
ellipsis from different points of view: formal, semantic, discoursive
and processing. The goal would be to discuss what should be explained
by a theory of ellipsis in light of the assumptions of specific
frameworks.<br />The following speakers have kindly accepted our
invitation to lecture in this workshop:<br />- Lobke Aelbrecht
(University of Ghent)<br />- Gerard Kempen (Leiden University)<br />-
Jason Merchant (University of Chicago)<br />- Maribel Romero
(University of Konstanz)<br /><br />Workshop Organisation:<br
/>Ellipsis 2012 is organised by the Language Variation and Textual
Categorisation (LVTC) research group at the University of Vigo (<a
href="http://webs.uvigo.es/lvtc"
target="_blank">http://webs.uvigo.es/lvtc</a>), in cooperation with
the research network 'English Linguistics Circle (ELC)' (<a
href="http://www.elc.org.es"
target="_blank">http://www.elc.org.es</a>), a network coordinated by
Professor Teresa Fanego (University of Santiago de Compostela),
involving five research groups based at the Universities of Santiago
de Compostela and Vigo.<br /><br />Call for Papers:<br />We would like
to invite presentations concerned with any topic involving ellipsis,
including the following:<br />- Ellipsis types: Gapping, VP Ellipsis,
Sluicing, Stripping, Pseudogapping, British English do,
Antecedent-Contained Deletion, Comparative Ellipsis, Swiping, Spading,
NP ellipsis<br />- Natural Language Processing of ellipsis<br />-
Functions of ellipsis in discourse<br />- The structural
representation of ellipsis types and their constituents<br />- The
exploration of the implications of particular theoretical frameworks
for the structure of elided elements.<br /><br />Proposals for
20-minute presentations must be submitted in MS Word or RTF format as
an email attachment to ellipsis2012uvigo.es before 15 May 2012. The
email message should use the subject header 'Ellipsis2012 abstract'.
Abstracts should be one page in length (single-spaced), excluding
references, and be written in standard 12-point font. The page should
be headed only by the title of the paper and must not include the
presenter(s)'s name, affiliations or address(es). The accompanying
email should include:<br />(a) Title of the paper<br />(b) Name(s) of
the author(s)<br />(c) Institutional affiliation(s)<br />(d) Email
address(es)<br />Notification of acceptance will be sent out by 30
June 2012.<br /><br />Publication:<br />Authors of papers accepted for
presentation will be invited to submit their paper for publication in
a special journal issue or volume with an international publisher.
Papers will be subjected to refereeing.<br /><br />Important Dates:<br
/>15 May 2012: Deadline for abstract submission<br />30 June 2012:
