Meeting Description:

Invited Speakers:

- Patricia Cabredo-Hofherr (Paris/Surrey)
- Uli Sauerland (Berlin)

Over the past few decades, research into syntactic and semantic binding 
has established itself as an important tradition that has contributed elegant 
solutions to various problems of interpretation at the syntax-semantics 
interface. Few theoretical notions have a range of application as broad as 
that of binding. Domains of investigation that have benefited greatly from 
insights into variable binding include reflexivity and reciprocity and, quite 
generally, the interpretation of (empty or overt) pronominals; argument 
structure and voice; matters of tense, aspect and modality as explored in 
event semantics or possible-worlds semantics; quantification relating to 
arguments as well as adverbials; and the interpretation of information-
structural categories such as focus and contrast. In all of these areas, a 
reasonable association of syntactic structures with semantic representations 
is hardly conceivable without the binding concept. It seems fair to say that 
binding is one of the most important theoretical concepts in linguistic 
analysis, and thus, by hypothesis, also a central principle in the architecture 
of human language.
