Semantics; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

Every year the graduate students of the Linguistics Department of the 
University of Maryland organize a linguistics workshop focusing on a 
different aspect of language. The goal of this year's Mayfest is to discuss 
how the interpretation of pronouns impacts our theories of syntax, 
semantics, pragmatics, acquisition, and processing.

Pronouns serve as tools of reference, and as markers of semantic and 
syntactic dependencies. In either role, their interpretation is guided by 
complex constraints, both grammatical and extralinguistic. The talks at this 
year's Mayfest, each in a distinct way, will explore these constraints. What 
are they, how does their expression develop in the child, and how are they 
deployed in real-time processing? Bringing together scholars from diverse 
subfields, we hope to foster discussion of how answers to each of these 
questions might inform the others, advancing an integrated perspective.

Mayfest 2011 has no registration fee and we welcome all visitors to the 
workshop; however, for organizational purposes we do ask all guests to 
register: http://ling.umd.edu/events/mayfest/2011/register

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!
