Meeting Description:

Ellipsis is a central phenomenon at the interface between syntax, semantics,
phonology and discourse. It has been, and continues to be, the focus of
numerous publications. Specifically, a major handbook on the subject has
recently been published (van Craenenbroeck & Temmerman 2018). Despite a huge
amount of theoretical work (from, e.g., Hankamer & Sag 1976 to current work by
Johnson 2001, Merchant 2001, van Craenenbroek 2010) and a long tradition in
psycholinguistic experimentation (from Murphy 1985 and Tannnenhaus & Carlson
1990 to current work by Frazier 2013, Kertz 2013, Kim & Runner 2017), major
questions remain open, most centrally the question of whether it is necessary
to hypothesize the existence of unpronounced syntactic structure at the
ellipsis site. The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers
who have been working on elliptical phenomena with special emphasis on
methodologies aiming to improve the empirical foundations of the discussion,
specifically psycholinguistic experimentation (acceptability and eye-tracking
experiments, in particular) and corpus investigations. Contributions will be
welcome concerning (i) the specific experimental methodologies being used in
psycholinguistics, and how they can be improved to give more reliable and
interpretable results; (ii) the way corpus data can be brought to bear on
theoretical questions; and (iii) how corpus data can be used to improve the
results of psycholinguistic experiments, specifically by increasing the
naturalness of the materials by providing new hypotheses. This one-day
conference will be held in connection with the 2019 LSA Linguistic Institute
and continues the theme initiated by its predecessor during the previous LSA
Linguistic Institute.
 
Keynote Speakers: Anne Abeille (U. Paris-Diderot) and Pranav Anand (UC Santa
Cruz)

The conference will be held in conjunction with the 2019 LSA Linguistic
Institute.
