<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Pronominal elements form an elusive, but all the more interesting category that has received central attention in modern
linguistic research. They show a wide array of variation in morphophonological shape from null pronouns to highly complex personal pronouns or anaphors, and this variation in form is concomitant with substantial variation in meaning that ranges from bound
variable interpretations to strong referential readings. The primary aim of this workshop is to address this diversity by focussing on recent developments in the study of the syntax and semantics of pronominals.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="2">The questions we aim to address include, but are not restricted to, the following. What is the syntactic category of pronouns?
If they are smaller than a canonical noun phrase (DP), then just how small can they be and how does this affect their syntax? What are the syntactically relevant features that different types of pronominals bear? How do prosodic processes, such as focussing
or deaccenting, affect the licensing and interpretation of pronouns? Does verbal argument structure have a real effect on pronoun licensing or is the special behaviour of pronouns in, say, psych-contexts just a conspiracy of non-syntactic factors? What kind
of meaning do reflexives and reciprocals contribute to the interpretation of the sentence? How do variation in pronominal form and variation in interpretation correlate? What non-linguistic factors may affect the choice of one pronominal form over the other?
It is these and related issues that we aim to discuss at the workshop.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="2">We welcome contributions on these or other aspects of the grammar of pronominals. Ideal submissions (i) discuss novel facts
or constructions that may have received slight or no attention in the literature, or (ii) revisit and reconsider well-known data and assumptions, or (iii) investigate features that play a direct role in the syntax of pronominals, or (iv) address the relation
between pronominal form and interpretation. <span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">We also welcome experimental work on pronominal data and work on the processing and acquisition of pronominals that
draws on advances in theories of syntax and semantics.</span></font></p>
