*LAST CALL FOR PAPERS*
Workshop: Semantic Approaches to Binding Theory
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schlenker/ESSLLI04.html
organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and
Information (ESSLLI 2004)
http://esslli2004.loria.fr/
16-20 August, 2004 in Nancy
Workshop Organizers:
Ed Keenan, UCLA (ekeenan @ ucla. edu)
Philippe Schlenker, UCLA & IJN (schlenke @ ucla. edu)
Workshop Purpose:
Binding Theory, which is concerned with sentence-internal constraints
on anaphora, was originally conceived in syntactic terms as a set of
conditions on the distribution of indices (Chomsky 1983). Thus
Condition A stated that anaphors are locally bound (*John/i thinks
that himself/i is clever); Condition B stated that Pronominals are
locally free (*He/i likes him/i), and Condition C required that
R-expressions be free (*He/i thinks that John/i is clever). But other
researchers have attempted to derive these constraints from lexical
semantics or the interpretative procedure rather than the syntax. Some
add a semantic component to a syntactic core (e.g. Reinhart 1983,
Heim 1993, Fox 2000, Buring 2002), but others are more radically
semantic (e.g. works by Jacobson, Keenan, Barker & Shan, Butler).
The workshop, which is intended for advanced PhD students and
researchers, will provide a forum to compare and assess these diverse
proposals. We welcome proposals for 45mn contributions (30mn
presentation + 15mn discussion), which should be specific, explicit
and semantically informed. We list below some possible topics, though
the list is not exhaustive.
Possible Workshop Topics:
-Semantic analyses of standard Binding Conditions
-Arguments pro or contra semantic approaches to Binding Theory
-Reflexivity
-Relation between logophors and anaphors
-Relation between deixis and anaphora
-Cross-linguistic variation in binding conditions
Submission details:
Authors are invited to submit an abstract in pdf format describing
their proposal. Submissions should not exceed 3 pages. Please send
your submission electronically to schlenke at ucla.edu by *March 5,
2004*. The abstracts will be reviewed by the workshop¹s program
committee. Please include author details in the accompanying e-mail,
leaving the pdf attachment anonymous. Authors whose submission is
accepted should be prepared to send later (by May 15th) an extended
(6-page) version of their abstract, to appear in the workshop
proceedings published by ESSLLI.
Workshop format:
The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI
participants. It will consist of five 90-minute sessions held over
five consecutive days in the second week of ESSLLI. There will be 2
slots for paper presentations and discussion per session. On the first
day, the workshop organizers will give an introduction to the topic.
Invited Speakers:
Ken Shan (Harvard) & Chris Barker (UCSD)
Alastair Butler (ILLC/Department of Philosophy, University of
Amsterdam)
