Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2018 

Meeting Description:

Long-distance dependencies are a well-explored field of investigation. It is
concerned with constructions involving a constituent that may be moved over a
clause boundary. Traditionally, they include several types of wh-movement.
Focusing on interrogatives and relatives, this workshop intends to bring
together syntacticians from different grammatical frameworks (HPSG, Generative
Grammar and others). Transformational frameworks like Generative Grammar often
explain long-distance dependencies as the result of a movement operation. In
contrast, lexicalist frameworks such as Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) and
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) do not assume movement. The goal
is to explore and compare the quality and quantity of construction specific
and syntactic descriptions needed to capture long-distance phenomena. Given
this range of phenomena, we welcome submissions contributing novel data and
innovative approaches to all aspects of long-distance dependencies of
interrogatives and relatives and their interaction.

Invited speakers:

Rui P. Chaves (University at Buffalo)
Caterina Donati (LLF Paris-Diderot)
Anne Abeillé (LLF Paris-Diderot)
Dominique Sportiche (University of California, Los Angeles)


Call for Papers:

Aside from the invited speakers, there will be room for a maximum of 20 papers
of 30 minutes to be presented. Abstracts should be anonymous and maximally 800
words long (excluding references). The abstracts should be submitted in .PDF
format through EasyChair no later than June 30, 2018.
