Meeting Description:

19th Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar 

The 19th Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar (SICOGG 19) will
take place at Seoul National University, Seoul Korea, from Wednesday, August 9
through Friday, August 11, 2017. The conference will be co-hosted by the
Korean Generative Grammar Circle, Seoul National University, and Korea
University. 

SICOGG 19 will consist of a general session, two workshops, and a series of
lectures by the keynote speaker. The main theme of the general session is ‘The
Syntax-Morphology Interface in Generative Grammar’. The confirmed invited
speakers are as follows:

Keynote Speaker: 

Professor Heidi Harley (University of Arizona) 

Invited workshop speakers: 

Professor Wei-Tien Dylan Tsai (National Tsing Hua University)
Professor Jeong-Ah Shin (Dongguk University)

The general session of SICOGG 19 features a series of invited lectures by
Professor Heidi Harley (University of Arizona). The purpose of the lecture
series is to provide an opportunity to rethink topics on the morphology and
syntax of complex heads. Professor Harley will address current issues
concerning head-movement, m-merger, prosodic words and Agree. Theme of the
invited lecture series is as follows, and we especially encourage submissions
touching on any of these topics.

Modeling the formation of morphologically complex words has been an important
topic in syntactic theory since at least the advent of head movement (e.g.
Travis 1984) and incorporation (Baker 1988). However, the relationship between
morphologically complex words and the syntactic tree remains a difficult
formal question, given the possibility that some apparently morphologically
complex words may be formed for purely prosodic reasons, others by
head-movement, others by phrasal movement followed by cliticization, still
others as a reflex of the Agree relation, and yet others by m-merger. The
overarching question that this plethora of operations brings to the fore is,
is there in fact any necessary relationship between the theoretical constructs
‘syntactic terminal node’ and ‘prosodic word’?  

Workshop 1 will feature an invited talk by Professor Wei-Tien Dylan Tsai
(National Tsing Hua University). This workshop will deal with the syntax of
postverbal why-questions in Chinese. The invited talk will provide an in-depth
discussion on the class of postverbal wh’s in Chinese which give unexpected
why-construal with a touch of “whining” force. The workshop will investigate
exceptions to the cross-linguistic generalization about the placement of why,
and also reconstruct the correct cartography of these ''ill-behaved''
why-questions.

Workshop 2 will feature an invited talk by Professor Jeong-Ah Shin (Dongguk
University). This workshop will focus on language research using cognitive and
psycholinguistic research methods such as structural priming, eye-tracking
measures, and event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Also, it will discuss how
to deal with quantitative data obtained in structural priming, eye-tracking,
or electroencephalographic (EEG) experiments.
