Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 23-Nov-2015 

Meeting Description:

The aim of this workshop is to look at linguistic variation from the perspective of the interaction between the internal and external syntax of XPs. In particular, how are syntactic mechanisms (e.g. case assignment, agree, EPP movement, etc.) and the distribution of linguistic items in the syntactic tree influenced by the internal structure of such lexical/grammatical items? And, what type of variation do we find in this domain?

NWO-project, The uniformity of linguistic variation, Utrecht University, UiL-OTS, The Netherlands

Heidi Klockmann, Franca Wesseling and Marjo van Koppen

Place of the workshop: Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands
