Meeting Description:

This workshop concerns the semantic properties and subcategorization
patterns of clause-embedding predicates (e.g., believe, know, wonder).
We aim to bring together researchers working on the semantics of
clause-embedding predicates using a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches (e.g., fieldwork, experimental,
computational), and to discuss new developments and open issues in the
research area.

The overall theme of the workshop is to address the following research
question:

Research question: Do the semantic properties of clause-embedding
predicates determine, possibly in part, their subcategorization
patterns? If so, how should this interaction between these semantic
and combinatorial systems be modeled within a general theory of
grammar?

More specifically, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Clause types: selection of declarative and/or interrogative
complements.
- Syntactic size: selection of complements of various syntactic size,
including non-finite complements (e.g., {want, *think} them to leave)
and nominal complements (e.g., {believe, *think} the story).
- Main-clause syntax: selection of complements having syntactic
characteristics normally associated with main clauses (e.g., V2 in
Germanic languages, subject-auxiliary inversion in English,
sentence-final particles in Japanese).
- Mood/factivity marking: selection of complements involving mood
marking (indicative/subjunctive) in Romance languages and
factivity-marking in Korean/Japanese.
- The status of L-analycity, and how to obviate its effects.
- Semantic universals in the domain of clause-embedding predicates,
and various methodologies to assess such universals (experimental,
fieldwork and computational).
- The aspectual properties of attitude reports (e.g., if they describe
states, events, different kinds thereof), and possible interactions
between these properties and other semantic and combinatorial
properties of attitude predicates.
