Meeting Description:

The last decade has seen an increased interest in various aspects of the
English Noun Phrase (e.g. Alexiadou et al. 2007, Keizer 2007, García Velasco &
Rijkhoff 2008, Adamson & González-Díaz 2009, Van de Velde 2009, Brems 2011,
Davidse, Breban & van Linden 2008, González-Álvarez et al. 2011, Schmid 2012,
Berlage 2014, Payne & Berlage 2014, Ghesquière 2014, Lohmann 2014, Günther
2015, Leung & van der Wurff 2018, Sommerer 2018, Davidse & Breban forth.
2018). The aim of the present workshop is to continue this tradition by
bringing together linguists currently working on the English noun phrase. The
focus of the workshop will be broad: we invite contributions from both a
synchronic and a diachronic perspective, working on all varieties of English. 
However, although we welcome papers from all theoretical perspectives, we are
particularly interested in contributions taking a functional-cognitive
approach, offering qualitative as well as quantitative analyses of naturally
occurring language data. All papers should deal first and foremost with
aspects of the English noun phrase, but contributions comparing English with
other languages are also welcome.

Confirmed invited speakers:
-Kristin Davidse (University of Leuven)
-Marianne Hundt (University of Zurich)
