Meeting Description:

The weekend workshop “How many mothers?  Multidominance in Syntax”
will be held on 24th-25th June 2023, as part of the LSA Summer
Institute 2023 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The
workshop will include three discussion panels and a poster session,
distributed over two days. The themes of the panels are:

- Multidominance at the Interfaces: Interpretation and Linearization
- Empirical Landscape of multidominance
- Architecture of grammar with and without multidominance

2nd Call for Papers:

Confirmed invited speakers:

Danny Fox (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Martina Gračanin Yuksek (Middle East Technical University)
Shrayana Haldar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Gary Thoms (New York University)

Many constructions have been argued to involve multidominance: Right
Node Raising (e.g., McCawley 1982; Wilder 1999; de Vries 2005, 2009;
Bachrach and Katzir 2009), coordinated wh-questions (e.g.,
Gračanin-Yuksek 2007; Lipták 2011; Raţiu 2011, 2012; Citko and
Gračanin-Yuksek 2013), gapping (e.g., Wilder 1997), ATB questions
(e.g., Citko 2005). Multidominance has also been proposed as (part of)
the mechanism of (overt and covert) movement (e.g., Frampton 2004;
Gračanin-Yuksek 2007; Johnson 2012, 2016). However, multidominance
still raises a number of empirical and theoretical questions, such as
what constrains multidominance?, how are multidominant structures
interpreted and linearized?, what are empirical limits of
multidominance?

We invite abstracts for poster presentations addressing these
questions or any other aspect of multidominance and its place in
syntactic theory, as well as abstracts arguing for (or against) a
multidominant analysis of linguistic phenomena.

Abstracts must be anonymous and should be submitted in a PDF format.
Abstracts must be no longer than two pages long including examples,
tables, and references (2.5 cm margins on all sides, single line
spacing, written in Times New Roman 12pt font).
A single author may submit a maximum of two abstracts; one single
authored and one co-authored.
Please email abstracts to: howmanymotherslsa at gmail.com
New Abstract submission deadline: May 1, 2023
Notification deadline: May 10, 2023
