Dynamic Syntax

Host Institution: 
Coordinating Institution: Federal University of Santa Catarina
Website: https://ead.abralin.org/?lang=en

Dates: 06-May-2022 - 20-May-2022
Location: Online. ABRALIN EAD Platform (Moodle), Online, Brazil

Focus: The course combines pre-recorded content which participants can work through on their own with live interactive sessions. The live sessions will provide an opportunity for discussion and questions, as well as to engage with those working in the framework.
Sessions during the first week (sessions 1-7) focus on providing an introduction to the Dynamic Syntax framework. Sessions during the second week (session 8-9) focus on the computational applications of the Dynamic Syntax, including a hands-on practical session on the Dynamic Syntax parser DyLan. We will bring these strands together and look at future prospects in the final live session (session 10).
Minimum Education Level: BA


Description:
This course provides students with a comprehensive and interactive
introduction to the Dynamic Syntax theoretical framework  (Kempson et al.
2001; Cann et al. 2005). Dynamic Syntax is a formal model of utterance
description which aims to capture the real-time parsing and production
process. There is a broad consensus that humans process linguistic input
incrementally, updating the meaning of the utterance after each word or
morpheme. However, the dynamics of this incremental on-line process has
traditionally not been reflected in most formal linguistic accounts.

Dynamic Syntax seeks to address this gap by providing a model of the way in
which hearers build step-by-step semantic representations (and
interpretations) from the information provided by words and morphemes in
context. Unlike most formal frameworks, Dynamic Syntax succeeds in modelling
the parsing and production process using the same tools and mechanisms.
