Workshop Description:<br>
<br>
Restrictivity - and its counterpart non-restrictivity - understood as<br>
properties of natural language modifiers such as relative clauses,<br>
adjectives, adverbials, PP- or nominal adjuncts, are fundamental<br>
concepts in linguistic theory.<br>
<br>
The question whether the modifier of a head is restrictive or not<br>
depends on and has an influence on various linguistic levels. It is<br>
reflected in syntax (pre- vs. postnominal modifier, attachment) and<br>
prosody (accent placement, prosodic phrasing), and it is constrained<br>
by semantic and pragmatic factors (concept type, information status,<br>
information structure, entailment properties, projective meaning).<br>
<br>
Despite the omnipresence of modification in natural discourse and<br>
various attempts at defining (non-)restrictivity, there is still no<br>
consensual definition which unites all structural and meaning-related<br>
aspects, and which is robust enough to be used, for instance, in<br>
corpus annotation.<br>
<br>
Specific Questions:<br>
<br>
i. Does the notion of (non-)restrictivity apply to modifiers in<br>
indefinites in the same way as in definites? Why is it often difficult to<br>
decide whether the modifier of an indefinite is restrictive or not?<br>
<br>
ii. What difficulties arise when (non-)restrictivity applies in the non-<br>
nominal domain, as with adverbials that modify events or states? What<br>
is common and different between (non-)restrictive modifiers in the<br>
verbal and the nominal domain?<br>
<br>
iii. Restricting the denotation of a noun intuitively only makes sense if<br>
its extension comprises more than one individual. Therefore,<br>
restriction creates a set of alternatives. Is there an intrinsic connection<br>
between restrictivity and focus?<br>
<br>
iv. (Non-)restrictivity is often correlated with structural (syntactic)<br>
differences. Is this generally the case or is it possible that sometimes<br>
restrictive and non-restrictive phrases share the same structure?<br>
<br>
v. What does information structure theory tell us about the prosody of<br>
(non-)restrictive phrases?<br>
<br>
vi. What are the connections and the differences between the<br>
restrictivity of (in-)definite expressions and the restrictivity of other<br>
quantifiers?<br>
<br>
vii. It has been proposed that evaluative modifiers are less easily used<br>
as restrictive modifiers than non-evaluative ones. Do modifiers more<br>
generally display a lexical bias for either a restrictive or a non-<br>
restrictive reading, and if yes, what are the properties responsible for<br>
those kinds of bias?<br>
<br>
