Meeting Description:

Nominal determination: form, function, and else is an international conference
which aims to bring together researchers of diverse theoretical persuasions
who all share an interest in capturing the role that determination plays in
nominals, from the lexicon to discourse, passing through all layers of
grammar.

There is a long tradition of investigating the role of determination in
reference assignment and the interplay of determination with quantification.
One of the primary functions of determination is to guide reference
assignment, and in this way, determination plays a central role in providing a
link between thought, language, communication, and the world. 

Determination may be approached at all interface levels between morphology,
syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Thus, linguistic forms and structures of
potential interest to scholars of language span at least articles,
possessives, demonstratives, quantifiers, numerals, adjectives, nouns, and the
phrasal projections that they head. In addition, the role of determination is
absolutely central in discourse management.

Certain issues seem to recur throughout the literature such as the diachronic
perspective on the development of definite articles from demonstratives
through a process of grammaticalization, the layers of functional projections,
overt and covert functional categories, cross-linguistic variation, and the
role of D-projection in nominals.

In a cross-linguistic perspective, several issues arise. Among others: (i)
What is the inventory of lexical and functional categories? (ii) Are they
primitive or composed elements? (iii) Is the inventory universal? (iv) How do
we identify them?

Thus, this conference aims to offer a diverse view of the nominal
determination and the correlations between internal nominal architecture and
the grammatical interfaces, and it expects a range of new analyses of
well-known problems, but it also new questions pointing to new areas which may
prove interesting topics for research in Linguistics both in functional and
formal paradigms.


Call for Papers:

We invite contributions from all theoretical, empirical, and experimental
perspectives in the field of Linguistics on nominal determination and
correlate issues. There will be 30-minute slots for oral presentations
(20-minute talk + 10-minute Q&A) and two poster sessions. Submissions are
limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author.

Anonymous abstracts should be submitted to the easychair link on our call for
