            Workshop on Definites
                   De Dag
       Groningen (NL), 28 November 1996

On Thursday, November 28, a workshop on the syntax and semantics of
definite noun phrases will be held in Groningen, the Netherlands. This
workshop brings together young researchers in the area of logic and
language, who will shed a light on this topic from various angles. The
workshop concludes with a panel discussion led by Jeroen Groenendijk,
Sjaak de Mey, and Henk Verkuyl.

Nine, relatively short, presentations are given by various people on the
following topics:

   * Leonie Bosveld-de Smet (Groningen) Generic definites;
   * Kees van Deemter and Emiel Krahmer (Eindhoven)
     Presuppositions as Anaphors, and Vice Versa:
     Towards a Full Understanding of Partial Matches;
   * Paul Dekker (Amsterdam) Definiteness in Perspective;
   * Jaap van der Does (Amsterdam) (Non-)quantificational
     Treatments of (In)definites;
   * Herman Hendriks (Utrecht) Information Packaging
     and "Association with Focus";
   * Helen de Hoop (Groningen) Scrambled Definites;
   * Edith Kaan (Groningen) Definiteness in Parsing;
   * Manuela Pinto (Utrecht) Definite Subjects and Inversion;
   * Yoad Winter (Utrecht) Codistributivity of Plural Definites.

For further information, you may contact either one of us, or consult the
workshop's homepage at URL:

The final program, and abstracts of the talks will be made available
on this page, and in a reader which will be distributed in
advance. Attendance is free of cost, but may be limited if too many
apply. If you want to join the event, please mail us so that we can
