Bare nouns: syntactic projections and their interpretation

The workshop on "Bare nouns: syntactic projections and their
interpretation" will be held at the University Paris Diderot –
Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle – UMR 7110 CNRS on November 26 –
28, 2009. The workshop is organized by the bilateral projects Hubert
Curien – Picasso 2007 – 2009 (resp. Carmen Dobrovie-Sorin, LLF
Université Paris Diderot, France) and Acció integrada hispanofrancesa
HF 2007-0039 (resp. Maria Teresa Espinal, Universitat Autònoma de
Barcelona, Spain):
http://seneca.uab.cat/clt/activitats/congressos.html


The workshop will consist of 3 invited talks, 10 talks by members of
the above-mentioned projects, and 10 selected talks (30 min. + 15
min. of discussion) bearing on any aspect of the syntax and/or
semantics of bare nominals, including the following: (i) Should we
assume three distinct levels of syntactic representation (DP, NumP and
NP) or only one (NP) or two (DP and NP)? (ii) Do we need to postulate
little n and if so, do we still need Number as a functional category
or should we analyze Number as a feature? (iii) What are the
parameters that are relevant for the crosslinguistic variation in the
use of bare nominals? (iv) Should classifiers be viewed as
counterparts of Number or rather as counterparts of Gender?

The languages of the workshop are English and French.
