The Linguistics Department and the Graduate Program in Linguistics of 
the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) is pleased to announce the 
Conference on Referentiality, to be held on October 21st – 22nd, 2013 at 
the Universidade Federal do Paraná in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

The conference aims to encourage discussions between linguists, 
philosophers, and cognitive scientists on the notion of referentiality. 
The central focus is centered in syntactic-semantic issues related to 
the nominal system with the aim of understanding the role of nominal 
modification in the licensing and interpretation of certain 
syntactic/semantic structures.

Questions to be addressed include but are not limited to:

Nominal modification is understood broadly including plural suffixation, 
modification by adjectives, prepositional complements and relative 
clauses. In this conference we want to understand the effects of 
modification in the licensing and blocking of certain nominal phrase, 
and the contrasts of acceptability.

We can summarize the issues as follows:

· the effects of modification in the licensing and blocking of certain 
nominal phrases;

· the role of referentiality features of noun phrases;

· nominal modification and contrasts of acceptability that show up in 
free choice constructions, with bare noun phrases, in the bare 
predication, and with the weak and generic definite phrases.
