Meeting Description:

International Meeting on Text Structure: Form, Meaning, and Processing
1.-3.7.2010
Universtität Göttingen

While the description and theoretical analysis of isolated levels of text
structure has matured substantially over the last thirty years, we are only
beginning to understand the interaction between different levels and the surplus
literary effects created by such interactions. In addition to methods of formal
syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, strongly empirically oriented subdisciplines
of linguistics such as corpuslinguistic and psycholinguistic have provided
central insights for the study of linguistic phenomena beyond the sentence
level. It is also necessary to include typological and variationist perspectives
to identify the full range and the relative impact of factors and means
exploited in the structuring of text in the languages of the world. 

Call for Papers

We welcome submissions addressing issues of text structure form various
perspectives such as syntax, formal semantics and pragmatics, typology,
psycholinguistics, or computational linguistics. The topics may include but are
not restricted to

-  information structure
-  differences between subordination and co-ordination
-  discourse conditions on the use of non-canonical structures
-  resolution of cross-sentential anaphora or elipsis
-  discourse relations
-  modelling of contextual parameters
-  the influence of tense, mood, and aspect on text structure
-  discourse particles
-  typological variation
-  text structure in signed and spoken modality
-  the linguistic study of literary texts

Invited Speakers
Erhard Hinrichs (Tübingen)
Barbara Kaup (Tübingen)
Josep Quer (Barcelona)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
