<p><strong>Workshop description<br>
</strong><br>
The workshop is organised by the project "Calcul de la référence nominale: </p>
<p>langues avec et sans articles" of the Fédération Typologie et Universaux<br>
du Langage (CNRS FRE 2559) which aims to bring together researchers in<br>
-- L1 and L2 language acquisition,<br>
-- <strong>sign language linguistics </strong>and<br>
-- comparative syntax and semantics.<br>
<br>
We encourage submissions exploring the linguistic means used to establish<br>
the reference of a nominal expression, focusing on the following questions:<br>
<br>
- what is the role of definite and indefinite articles in establishing the<br>
reference of the DP ?<br>
- how are the effects of definite and indefinite articles achieved in<br>
languages that lack those articles ?<br>
- what are the semantic distinctions involved in languages that<br>
distinguish two distinct definite articles (see Ebert 1970, Löbner 1985,<br>
and much subsequent literature) or two indefinite articles (see von<br>
Heusinger, Klaus & Klein, Udo (to appear) The Distribution of two<br>
Indefinite Articles in Uzbek, and references cited there).<br>
<br>
We welcome work on formal syntax and semantics, L1 and L2 acquisition of<br>
(in)definiteness in spoken <strong>and sign languages</strong>.<br>
<br>
We invite submissions for 25-minute presentations (plus ten-minute<br>
discussions).<br>
<br>
Abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length (including examples and<br>
references) written in French or English.<br>
<br>
Abstracts must be anonymous and should be sent by e-mail (plain ASCII,<br>
rtf, ps or pdf) to : pcabredo //AT// univ-paris8.fr<br>
<br>
Please write the (first) author’s name plus the word ’abstract’ in the<br>
subject line of your message (e.g., ’Dupont abstract’), and include author<br>
name(s), affiliation, contact information and the title of the abstract in<br>
the body of the email. For co-authored papers indicate the email address<br>
that we should use for correspondence.<br>
