Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics

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)
                  James McCloskey (UC Santa Cruz)
                  Toshiyuki Ogihara (University of Washington)
                  Henriëtte de Swart (University of Utrecht)

linguistics, plus three special events: a panel discussion on
methodological issues in the study of English dialects, a tutorial on
computational tools for linguists, and a workshop on clause typing and
the left periphery.

Full information on the conference, including a complete schedule,
accomodation information, etc., is available at the website.  Email

GURT Conference may also be interested in the CUNY Sentence Processing
Conference being held around the same time at the University of
Maryland, College Park.  More details on this meeting can be found at
