Meeting Description:

CGG28 will be preceded by a Workshop on Argument Structure and Linguistic
Processing (ARS-LING) on May 30, 2018. 

This workshop is organized by the members of the Research Project Argument
Structure and Neurolinguistic Processing at the Lexicon-Syntax Interface:
Unergative Verbs with Cognate Object or Obligatory Prepositional Object of the
Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (FFI2016-80142-P) (Isabel
Oltra-Massuet, Linnaea Stockall, Alec Marantz, Jordi Ginebra, Elga Cremades,
Anna Maria Montserrat, Mariángeles Cano Cambronero, Andreu Castell), with the
help of the CGG28 organizing committee. 

Our project focuses on the theoretical representation and linguistic
processing of unergative verbs. It seeks to analyze the various structures in
which unergative verbs can appear and how they contrast with other parallel
structures such as light verb configurations from both a theoretical and an
experimental point of view. 

Keynote speakers: TBA


Workshop on Argument Structure & Linguistic Processing 

The main goal of this 1-day workshop is to bring together researchers working
on the representation and processing of verbal argument structure in the
languages of the world from a cross-linguistic perspective that combine
theory-based and experiment-focused research. We aim at building a productive
dialog among researchers working on verbal argument structure from an
interdisciplinary perspective that includes the psycholinguistic,
neurolinguistic and theoretical methods and tools. We are especially
interested in research that deals with:

(i) the analysis of unergative verbs with cognate objects and obligatory PP
objects
(ii) the relationship between unergative verbs and other configurations like
light verbs that have received less attention in theoretical linguistics and
are understudied experimentally
(iii) the appearance of verbs in multiple argument frame options and how this
affects the processing of argument structure
(iv) the distinction between lexical and structural information with respect
to the relation between a verb and its arguments, both on the basis of
single-word-level tasks and at the level of the sentence
(v) the representation and processing of argument structure both in adults and
children, thus including the language acquisition perspective
(vi) sentence processing, prediction and planning in argument structure
 
We intend to publish a special journal issue of selected papers from the
ARS-LING workshop. 
 
Submission guidelines:

Researchers working on the representation and processing of verbal argument
structure are invited to participate as poster presenters. There are also two
open slots for oral presentations, to be selected from among the highest-rated
abstracts. Please state in your abstract whether you wish to be considered for
oral presentation. Oral presentations will be allotted 30 minutes plus 10
minutes for discussion. 
Authors are asked to submit their abstracts in an anonymous PDF file to the
following site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=27cgg
 
Please add 5 keywords. 

Abstracts should be no longer than two pages in length (including examples and
references), in a 12­point font, single line spacing and 2,5 cm. margins. 

Important Dates:

- Deadline for abstract submission: January 31, 2018
- Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2018
- Workshop dates: May 30, 2018
- CGG28 Conference dates: May 31 - June 1, 2018
