HPSG-Workshop on Germanic

Date: 07-Aug-2003 - 08-Aug-2003
Location: Bremen, Germany
Contact: Stefan Müller
Contact Email: Stefan.Mueller at uni-bremen.de
Meeting URL: http://www.dfki.de/~stefan/Events/germanic2003.html

Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics
Subject Language: German

Meeting Description:

A number of approaches to Germanic languages (excluding English) have
been developed in constraint-based theories like HPSG and LFG.  Apart
from the issue of empirical adequacy, formal issues were raised, among
them:

- the nature of complex predicates and the mechanisms used to
formalize them
- linearization versus movement analyses of various phenomena
- the nature of functional projections
- configurational and non-configurational properties of scope
determination

The idea of this workshop is to provide a forum to present and discuss
current HPSG proposals exploring such empirical and formal issues of
the morphology/syntax of Germanic languages (excluding
English).
