Meeting Description:
GURT 2004 will focus on syntax, semantics, and computational
linguistics, as pursued from a comparative or cross-linguistic
perspective. We are particularly interested in submissions in the
following areas:
* The syntax and semantics of clause types
* Syntactic variation across varieties of English
* The internal structure of the noun phrase
* Negation, negative polarity, and negative concord
* Tense and aspect in formal and/or computational semantics
* Microvariation in the left periphery of the clause
* Linguistic typology for machine translation
These areas are of special interest to faculty and students at
Georgetown, and we anticipate that there will be special sessions
devoted to them.
INVITED SPEAKERS: Paola Benincà (University of Padua)
Guglielmo Cinque (University of Venice)
Lilliane Haegeman (University of Lille)

Meeting Description:
30th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society The Berkeley
Linguistics Society is pleased to announce its Thirtieth Annual
Meeting, to be held February 13-16, 2004. The conference will consist
of a General Session, a Parasession and a Special Session.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*GENERAL SESSION*
The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. We

Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and
Psychology.

*PARASESSION*
''Conceptual Structure and Cognition in Grammatical Theory'' The
Parasession invites submissions addressing the following question: to
what extent and in what ways can findings from cognitive science and
psychology be integrated into formalisms for linguistic analysis?
Papers representing all views and approaches are sought. Those that
address both experimental data and formal theoretical models are
particularly welcomed.
*Invited Speakers*
Adele Goldberg, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Alec Marantz, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
