Full Title: Canadian Journal of Linguistics 


Linguistic Field(s): Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2014 

Extended Call (note new deadline):
As an extension of the DP workshop (Got D?), we propose a special journal
edition of CJL on the functional projection D. In particular, we are
interested in the universality of D. Is D always necessary (e.g. for
argumenthood; Higginbotham 1985; Longobardi 1994, 2000)? Or can a language
lack D altogether (Bošković 2010, 2009, 2008; Chierchia 1998; Bošković &
Gajewski 2011; Despic 2011)? Or is an intermediate position possible? What
features of D are universal (if any; Matthewson 1998; Gillon 2013)? Is
definiteness required for the presence of D? Are there different kinds of
definiteness (e.g. Frisian determiners)? Can D be a marker of specificity
instead of definiteness (as in Samoan; Mosel & Hovdhaugen 1992)?

We are soliciting papers on the topic of D, especially whether D is universal
or not, and how we can tell. We are particularly interested in the following
questions: What are the consequences of lack/presence of a covert D? How, if
at all, does D relate to other functors in a language? How, if at all, does
the semantic content of D bear on the interpretations of bare nouns? What
predictions does the lack/presence of a covert D make? If a D is indeed
lacking, how to account for the definiteness effects? What is the difference
between a null definiteness operator and a covert D? Why do the data
interpretations from articleless languages pattern differently? 

This will be competitive: only the top 6-8 papers will be selected. Please
send papers to solveiga.armoskaite at rochester.edu or carrie.gillon at asu.edu by
November 1, 2014
