Meeting Description:

Since the appearance of Abney’s (1987) seminal dissertation, the study of
nominals has expanded dramatically (Bošković 2005; Cheng & Sybesma 2012;
Ghomeshi 2003; Li 1999; Piriyawiboon 2011; Ritter 1991; Ritter 1992; Ritter
1993; Valois 1991). The extended nominal projection has been compared with the
extended verbal projection, with suggestions of strict parallelism between the
two (Megerdoomian 2008; Ogawa 2001), along with a proliferation of functional
projections within the nominal (nP, NumP, ClP, PossP, DP, KP, among others).
The study of nominal structure impinges on our understanding of noun
incorporation (Baker 1988; Massam 2001; van Geenhoven 1998), semantics
(Chierchia 1998), phases (Newell 2008), and prosody (Clemens 2014). The study
of how nominals fit into the clausal spine impacts our understanding case
(Diercks 2012; Massam 2005) and argument structure (Chung & Ladusaw 2004;
Mithun & Corbett 1999; Rosen 1989). This conference brings together leading
researchers around the world in the study of the structure of nominals and
their interfaces. The questions we wish to address include but are not limited
to the following:

- What functional projections are found in the nominal? Is the functional
hierarchy universal (Cinque 2010), language specific, or is language variation
constrained in some way (Wiltschko 2014)?
- What kinds of reduced nominal expressions are found in natural language?
Bare NPs, bare NumPs? Cl+N expressions without numerals? Caseless nouns? How
does this relate to noun incorporation and pseudo noun incorporation?
- What is the phase structure of nominals? What is the evidence for DP phases
(Svenonius 2004)? Is there an internal phase corresponding to vP (Marantz
2001; Newell 2008)?
- What are the prosodic properties of nominals and reduced nominals (Clemens
2014; Dyck 2009; Richards 2017)?

A full list of references cited here is availabe on the conference website
(https://nominalsattheinterfaces.wordpress.com/information/).


Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for oral presentations (20 min + 10 min) and posters on
any topic related to the structure of nominals or how nominals interface with
other linguistic modules. Anonymous abstracts must fit onto two A4 or 8.5x11
pages with 11 point Times New Roman font. Examples should be interleaved with
the text rather than gathered at the end of the abstract. References may
appear on or spill over to a third page, if necessary, but all other text and
examples must appear on the first two pages. As references may spill over to a
third page, please include all references rather than listing a subset of
references. The author’s name may be associated with at most two abstracts, of
which at most one may be singly authored.

Abstracts can be sent through Easy Abs at the following address:
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/nominals2018. Abstract submission opens on May
7 2018. The deadline is June 18, 2018.
