>>>
>>> Colloquium Topic:
>>>
>>> It is uncontroversial that language has both a sound and a meaning
>>> component. In addition to the latter two, a narrow syntactic
>>> component is
>>> postulated by linguists. But is narrow syntax a real, empirically
>>> identifiable subcomponent of the human ability to use language in
>>> the most
>>> general sense, or is it merely an analytical artifact? Are there
>>> principled grounds for separating "Merge" from prosody, implicature,
>>> presupposition, parsing, functional structure, the lexicon,
>>> morphology,
>>> phonology, stylistic movement, and binding theory?  While there are
>>> various conceptual lines of reasoning to adopt a position on these
>>> issues,
>>> this position must always be backed up by empirical evidence. Are
>>> there
>>> mechanisms in the sound and meaning components that achieve the same
>>> results as Merge? And, if so, do they require an extra level of
>>> quasi-syntactic processes to achieve them? What do we know about how
>>> narrow syntax interfaces with these other systems?
>>> Abstracts relating to these questions but not limited to them are
>>> invited
>>> for presentation at GLOW 34. The questions should not only be
>>> addressed
>>> from the viewpoint of syntax, or current syntactic theories, but
>>> should
>>> also be addressed from within phonology, morphology, semantics and
>>> pragmatics, vis-a-vis-syntax, as well as by psycho-linguistics.
