Linguistic Analysis (http://www.linguisticanalysis.com) invites contributions
for a special issue, edited by Victor Junnan Pan and Waltraud Paul, that will
focus on the syntax of complex sentences in Chinese.

The main goal of the special issue is to determine the precise hierarchy
between main clause and adjunct clause in the different types of complex
sentences.

Such an investigation is necessary, because the structure of complex sentences
in Chinese has hardly been studied within the generative framework.

This is surprising insofar as complex sentences served as crucial testing
ground for binding theory in the wake of Huang (1982), in particular the
binding construal possibilities for zìjǐ 'self' (cf. Huang/Li/Li 2009, ch. 9
for discussion and references).The wealth of studies on zìjǐ 'self' hardly
ever addressed the question of the internal structure of complex sentences,
but implicitly took for granted the identity between Chinese and English in
this domain.

For this special issue, we welcome original full-length article submissions
couched in any formal framework that provide solid evidence for the analysis
they propose. (For a full description of the special issue providing a list of
research questions, see:
http://crlao.ehess.fr/docannexe/file/1893/call_for_papers_si_la.pdf) Submitted
articles will undergo rigorous peer review.

Abstracts of 2 pages, including examples and references, should be submitted
for consideration by May 1, 2016 as PDF attachment to
victor.pan at univ-paris-diderot.fr and waltraud.paul at ehess.fr.

Authors of abstracts selected for inclusion (pending subsequent peer
reviewing) will be notified by June 1, 2016.

Complete papers ready for review should be sent to the editors before October
3, 2016.

Decisions and peer reviews will be sent to the authors no later than December
31, 2016, with expected publication of the special issue by late 2017.

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.
