Workshop on Sentence-Initial Bare Noun 

Date: 26-May-2011 - 27-May-2011 
Location: Tübingen, Germany 
Contact: Johannes Kabatek 
Contact Email: kabatek at uni-tuebingen.de 
Meeting URL: http://www.sfb833.uni-tuebingen.de 

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Morphology; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The possibilities and constraints of starting a sentence with a bare noun vary strongly in the different Romance languages and varieties. In the last years, increasing research on nominal determination (general as well as on Romance) has offered new empirical data (elicited or from corpora), new methodological insights and new theoretical explanations for the particular, language-specific bare noun distribution. The range of types of sentence-initial bare nouns in Romance languages is related to a series of heterogeneous syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors as well as to other phenomena, and the aim of the workshop is to discuss, on the one hand, particular (and partly striking) cases in the different languages as well as, on the other hand, overall explanations allowing to classify the individual cases.
