Meeting Description:

The 22nd Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar (SICOGG 22) will
take place at Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, from August 12 through August
14, 2020. The conference will be hosted by the Korean Generative Grammar
Circle.

SICOGG 22 will consist of a general session, a workshop on topic and focus,
and a series of lectures by the plenary speaker. The main theme of the general
session is ‘The Syntax-Pragmatics Interface in Generative Grammar’. The
confirmed invited speakers are as follows:

Plenary speaker:  
Professor Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine (National University of Singapore)

Invited workshop speakers: 
Professor Wei-Tien Dylan Tsai (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan)
Professor Hanjung Lee (Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea)
Professor Jungmee Lee (Seoul National University, Korea)

Equal consideration will be given to papers from all areas of generative
grammar, which may include syntactic theory, the syntax-pragmatics interface,
the syntax-semantics interface, the syntax-morphology interface, the
syntax-phonology interface, syntactic acquisition, and any other
syntax-related interests. 

The general session of SICOGG 22 features a series of invited lectures by
Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine (National University of Singapore). The topic of
the lectures is the theory of focus at the syntax-semantics-pragmatics
interface. Professor Erlewine will introduce theoretical approaches and
problems in the analysis of focus particles with an emphasis on recent results
from languages of Asia. Some specific topics that the lectures will discuss,
or which are related to the lectures, include: 
 - The syntax and semantics of focus and discourse particles, including
questions of particle placement (pied-piping, anti-pied-piping); 
 - The status of information-structural features such as [TOPIC], [FOCUS], 
[GIVEN] in the grammar; 
 - The prosodic realization of focus; 
 - Variation and possible universals in the cross-linguistic semantics of
focus particles; 
 - The relationship of focus alternatives to the semantics of questions,
disjunction, and indefinites; 
 - The role of context and structure in the calculation of alternatives. 

The workshop on topic and focus will feature invited talks by Wei-Tien Dylan
Tsai (National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan), Hanjung Lee (Sungkyunkwan
University, Seoul, Korea), and Jungmee Lee (Seoul National University, Korea).
Workshop 1 will feature an invited talk by Wei-Tien Dylan Tsai (National Tsing
Hua University), which provides an in-depth discussion on the focus construals
of reflexives and wh's-in-situ in Chinese. The investigation will look into
the quantificational properties shared by both types of expressions,
particularly in relation to their syntactic distributions and corresponding
interpretations under the cartographic approach. Workshop 2 will feature an
invited talk by Hanjung Lee (Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul) whose theme is
“Differential Case Marking, Information Structure and Tense Revisited:
Pragmatic Bases and Processing Motivations”. Workshop 3 will feature an
invited talk by Jungmee Lee (Seoul National University), which will address
current issues concerning “Temporal constraints on the meaning of modalized
sentences”. 

Second Call for Papers: 

Accepted papers will be published in The Proceedings of the 22nd Seoul
International Conference on Generative Grammar, which will be distributed to
the conference participants. All presenters will be asked to provide their
paper in both .pdf and .doc formats by July 31, 2020. The text should be

limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author, or
two joint abstracts per author. Please indicate whether the submitted work is
proposed for a poster, an oral presentation, or either. Abstracts should be
submitted no later than May 15, 2020. Authors will be notified of acceptance
or rejection on or after June 12, 2020. Each speaker will be allotted 20
