Meeting Description:

New Horizons in the Grammar of Raising and Control
LSA Linguistic Institute Workshop
Cambridge, MA
8-10 July 2005

Revised call for proposals
(n.b. - new URL; invited speakers; revised description)

New Horizons in the Grammar of Raising and Control, supported in part by a
National Science Foundation grant, is a project consisting of a three-hour
panel at the January 2005 Linguistic Society of America annual meeting in
San Francisco , and a workshop at the July 2005 LSA Linguistic Institute at
Harvard/MIT. The topic of these meetings is the analysis of two grammatical
constructions, Raising and Control, which have been central to the
development of linguistic theory over the past 40 years. The aim of the
January 2005 panel was to articulate a set of research questions to be
addressed at the July 2005 workshop. Issues arising from this panel include
the following:

1.  What are the empirical properties of Raising and Control? How can each
be clearly identified, or has the question become irrelevant? With the
movement theory of control proposed by Hornstein 1999, and adopted in
subsequent work (e.g., Boeckx and Hornstein 2003, 2004, 2005; Polinsky
2005, Polinsky and Potsdam 2002, 2003), the "base-generated" analysis of
Copy Raising (Potsdam and Runner 2001) and others, for some (but by no
means all), the line between Raising and Control has become less and less
prominent. Is the distinction empirically motivated or simply an artifact
of terminology inherited from a rich history of work in generative linguistics?

2.  What constructions (besides the canonical ones) might be subject to a
Raising or Control analysis? What constructions that have been treated as
Raising or Control might turn out not to be so? Raising or Control have
been posited for cases (such as Japanese) in which the complement is finite
and has an overt complementizer. Backward Control (in which the controllee
rather than the controller is overt) has been posited for Tsez and Malagasy
(Polinsky and Potsdam 2002, 2003). It has been observed that Control, but
not Raising, is possible in nominalizations. Possessor-possessee relations
expressed outside of the NP have been characterized as Possessor Raising
(and sometimes Possessor Control).

3.  Besides the core class of Obligatory Control, what classes of Control
must be recognized? What is the relation of Partial Control, Arbitrary
Control, and more generally non-Obligatory Control to the canonical cases
(Landau 2000, Jackendoff and Culicover 2003)? In some cases, the Control
and Raising label has also been applied to constructions in which the
controlled nominal or target of raising is overt (i.e. Copy Raising). In
many instances Copy Raising combines with issues of finiteness or Possessor
Raising. In other cases, the relation between the controller and controllee
is not local (i.e. Super-Equi or Long-distance Control).

4.  What are the syntactic attributes of Raising and Control? What part
does tense, or finiteness, or clausal completeness play in restricting
their distribution? How are restrictions on the controllee and raisee (e.g.
the fact that they must be complement subjects) determined? And what is the
role of semantics in these determinations?

Workshop proposals should address these and other relevant issues, and
proposers are encouraged to bring new empirical data, especially from
understudied languages, into focus. Participation is sought both from among
theoretical linguists and from linguists whose research interests lie in
other disciplinary areas (e.g. language acquisition, historical
linguistics, sociolinguistics and language variation, and neurolinguistics).

INVITED SPEAKERS:
Cedric Boeckx (Harvard University) &
Norbert Hornstein (University of Maryland)

Maria Polinsky (University of California, San Diego) &

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES:
Abstracts on topics dealing with the aspects of Raising and Control are
invited for 20 or 30 minute presentations (excluding discussion) or for
inclusion in a poster session. Abstracts should clearly indicate how they
will address questions raised at the January 2005 LSA Meeting Symposium on
Raising and Control (the abstracts for this symposium are accessible
http://www.cas.sc.edu/ling/grc). Abstracts should be anonymous and no
longer than one page (an additional page for references and examples can be
included) with 1 inch margins and 12 point type. Submissions are limited to
one singly authored and one jointly authored abstract per author or two
jointly authored abstacts.

ABSTRACT DEADLINE: March 1, 2005. Notification of inclusion in the program
by April 15, 2005.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION:
Abstracts should be sent electronically to Stanley Dubinsky
(dubinsky at sc.edu) and William D. Davies (william-davies at uiowa.edu) as
attachments in PDF, RTF, Word, or Wordperfect format. If non-standard fonts
are required, use the 'embed fonts' option when you save the file. The
author's information (name, affiliation, postal address, and e-mail
address) together with the title of the paper should be in a separate file
or includied as part of the body of the e-mail message.
