Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

Cross-linguistic comparison based on fine-grained descriptions of word order
issues in different languages have led formal approaches to language, since at
least the late eighties of the last century, to postulate the existence of a
series of syntactic positions (projections) linked to different
semantic-pragmatic features. 1997, Luigi Rizzi published his seminal paper on
the ''Fine structure of the left periphery'', a thought-provoking model of the
syntax and function of sentence-initial elements, which has led to a multitude
of discoveries not only on the descriptive, but also the experimental and
psycholinguistic level. 
 
The Zurich Center for Linguistics is happy to host a one-day workshop ''The
Left Periphery reloaded'', with contributions on the relation between
information structure and syntax from inside and outside the cartographic
model, with Pierre Larrivée (Caen), Genoveva Puskas (Geneva),  Luigi Rizzi
(Geneva), and Alvaro de Toledo y Huerta (Munich), as invited speakers.
Attendance is free.
