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

Meeting Description: 

The relation of predication is fundamental to natural language semantics and
syntax. No meaningful utterance can do without it: fragments which only
feature an argument on the surface have an underlying structure in which a
predicate for it is structurally represented and interpreted semantically,
though not phonologically. But despite its omnipresence, both in language and
in the linguistics literature, predication continues to give rise to heated
debates on many central questions in semantics and syntax. This workshop
addresses the relationship between syntax and semantics in predication, to
determine whether all instances of predication can be captured under a uniform
syntactic or semantic mechanism, and to explore new instantiations of and
restrictions on predication.
