Subject: 1st Dynamic Syntax Conference

 Full Title: 1st Dynamic Syntax Conference 
Short Title: DS1 

Date: 19-Apr-2017 - 20-Apr-2017
Location: SOAS, London, United Kingdom 
Contact Person: Hannah Gibson
Meeting Email: hg6 at soas.ac.uk

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Pragmatics; Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 09-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

Whilst there is broad consensus that humans process linguistic input in real
time, the dynamics of this process are often not reflected in most formal
accounts of linguistic knowledge. Dynamic Syntax (DS; Cann et al. 2005,
Kempson et al. 2001, 2011) is a grammar formalism that aims to capture the
parsing/production process in real-time. Under the Dynamic Syntax approach,
linguistic knowledge is considered to be the ability to parse spoken language
in context, whilst syntax is the constraint-based way in which representations
of context can be built up from words encountered in a string.

We are pleased to announce that the first Dynamic Syntax conference will take
place at SOAS University of London on 19-20 April 2017. The meeting will bring
together those using DS in their research, as well as those who are interested
in issues that lie at the heart of the theoretical approach.

The conference will also include a DS ‘master class’ providing an introduction
to the framework, as well as the tools and mechanisms of analysis. 

We are also delighted to announce that Professor Ruth Kempson will deliver the
keynote address at the conference.


Call for Papers:

We welcome papers directly employing the tools of Dynamic Syntax, as well as
those that engage with issues relating to parsing-based approaches to the
representation of natural language, incremental systems of grammar, and/or the
syntax-semantics and syntax-pragmatic interfaces.

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than 1 A4 page, including
references. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one
joint abstract per author. The deadline for submissions is 9 January 2017.
We ask for abstracts to be sent in PDF or Word format to Hannah Gibson
(hg6 at soas.ac.uk).

For additional information please contact Hannah Gibson (hg6 at soas.ac.uk).
