LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Binding Theory and Invariants in Anaphoric Relations

Lisbon, Portugal
August 22, 2005

http://bindingwksp.di.fc.ul.pt

Hosted by HPSG 2005, the 12th International Conference on
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
http://hpsg2005.di.fc.ul.pt

Motivation:

Anaphoric binding principles, which capture constraints on the
relative positioning of anaphors and their antecedents in grammatical
geometry, have been a central topic in the research on the grammar of
natural languages: Their modular nature is evidenced by the non
trivial  symmetries holding among them, and their empirical
plausibility is supported by the repeated observation of their
occurrence across languages.

While these constraints have been instrumental in the research of
other linguistic phenomena and constructions as one of the most
reliable diagnoses for grammatical structure and relations, the
interest around binding theory itself has continuously expanded, to a
considerable extent also due to recent results from psycholinguistics
and from new research methodologies such as neuro-imaging. This has
led to a vast array of exciting results and research issues, of which
the following are just some examples:

-What clarification can be obtained when binding constraints are put
into perspective with respect to discourse structure?
-What is their proper locus (syntax, semantics, ...) in the
architecture of grammar?
-What is intrinsic to binding constraints and what should be factored
out as (sub-)regularities possibly due to other grammatical modules
and phenomena?
- What is the best definition of auxiliary notions (command,
domain, ...) in view of increased empirical adequacy?
- Are there languages of the world whose anaphors comply with yet to
uncover binding principles?
-What cross-linguistic generalizations, i.e., invariants, hold in
anaphoric binding?
- How to accommodate binding theory in current formal grammatical
frameworks and how this may contribute to determine their appropriate
shape?
- How to enforce the satisfaction of binding constraints by
grammatical representations and what is the most efficient algorithm
to do this?
- What is the root of the intriguing symmetries across binding
principles and of their prominent modular nature?
- What are their cognitive underpinnings and how do these relate to
anaphora processing and resolution?

The aim of this workshop is to provide participants with a forum where
their research on binding benefits from insightful discussion and from
the exchange of leading edge results on issues closely related to
their work.

We thus invite the submission of papers contributing innovative
approaches, solutions, data or results on all aspects of binding theory.

Submission Details:

We invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for 30 minute presentations
(followed by 10 minutes of discussion) which should consist of two parts:

1. A separate information page in plain text format, containing
     - author name(s)
     - affiliation(s)
     - e-mail and postal address(es)
     - title of paper

2. An extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including
all figures and references. Abstracts should be in PDF format. All
abstracts should be sent to Manfred Sailer
(manfred.sailer at phil.uni-goettingen.de).

Abstracts for the workshop should mention 'binding-05' in the subject
line. All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two
reviewers. Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts.

Important Dates:

Abstract submission deadline:  February 15, 2005
Notification of acceptance:  April 15, 2005
Workshop:  August 22, 2005

Publication:

The proceedings of the workshop will be published on-line by CSLI
publications together with those of the hosting conference.
A call for papers for contributions to the on-line proceedings
will be issued after the event.
