                          WORKSHOP
What is the Empirical Contribution of Generative Linguistics?

Research in generative syntax, which has seen an explosive growth over
the past thirty years, is in urgent need of being systematized. For
several reasons it has become the rule rather than the exception that
relevant existing research results are not adequately taken into
consideration in current work. Similarly, there is no guarantee that
students, even those graduating from the best programs, will share a
reasonable amount of knowledge about standard syntactic analyses. In
short, it is obvious that a survey of results, a 'standard', is needed
in syntax. By doing so it will become clear what the empirical
contribution of generative linguistics is.

This idea is the basis for the currently active group of researchers
at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and
Social Sciences working on a Syntactician's Companion (SynCom). This
group, together with a balanced international forum of researchers,
will try to create a responsible consensus about the main empirical
and conceptual achievements results of syntactic theorizing. The
SynCom should provide the reader with a complete and coherent
description of what may be considered to be the core results of
syntactic research during the last thirty years. It will contain a
collection of cases which are recognized as valuable in the scientific
community, and which might well serve as points of reference in the
development of theories, and in scientific education. As such it will
serve as an adequate research tools for theoretical linguists,
psycholinguists, computational linguists, sociolinguists, etc.

As part of this enterprise, the workshop "What is the Empirical
Contribution of Generative Linguistics?"  is organized on June 27&28
1997 at Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities
and Social Sciences, Wassenaar, the Netherlands
