Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

This will be the inaugural meeting of a new syntax workshop, the Princeton
Symposium on Syntactic Theory (PSST). The theme for this meeting of the
workshop is syntactic interfaces, with the following guiding questions:

a) How modular is syntax, as a component of grammar? How modularly can we
work, as researchers investigating syntax?

b) What is the architecture of the grammar, and how does syntax fit into it?
What kind of information can be shared between grammatical components, and at
what point(s)?

c) What can we learn about syntax by using interface data, both through case
studies in particular languages/language families and through larger
cross-linguistic surveys?

On Friday April 6, the workshop will run from 2:30pm to 6pm, and on Saturday
April 7, 9:30am (following breakfast) to 5pm. Saturday evening, all attendees
are invited to join us for drinks and hors d'oeuvres following the workshop.

Registration is free, but we would appreciate it if those who are planning to
attend would complete the following registration form by March 21:
