The 11th Syntax and Semantics Conference in Paris (CSSP 2015) will
take place on October 8-10th, 2015 at Université Paris 7 Paris
Diderot. The Conference welcomes papers combining empirical inquiry
and formal explicitness. CSSP aims at favouring comparisons between
different theoretical frameworks. CSSP conferences combine a general
session and a thematic session.
General session: In light of the fact that work in semantics often
addresses pragmatic issues and with the increasing prominence of both
experimental and computational approaches CSSP now welcomes papers
employing theoretical/experimental/computational methods on:
syntax,
semantics,
pragmatics
the syntax-semantics interface
the semantics-pragmatics interface
language acquisition: syntax-semantics-pragmatics
The thematic session will focus on the issue of: Global or
genre/domain-dependent grammar? In both computational and
sociolinguistic work the need to accommodate domain or genre
dependence has long been recognised. More recently, there have been
proposals among semanticists and philosophers of language that
grammars or languages can be created on the fly and that,
consequently, there is no single grammar/language. Among syntacticians
there is increasing awareness of the importance of genre/domain on the
availability and meaning of grammatical and lexical constructions. We
welcome theoretical and empirical contributions addressing the issue
of how to accommodate domain or genre dependence in grammatical
frameworks: the impact this has for grammar architectures and for
context/grammar interfaces, does it necessitate the recognition of
core/periphery within a single grammar?
Submission: We invite submissions for 40 minute presentations
(including 10 minutes for discussion). CSSP is changing its submission
procedures. Submissions are expected to describe substantial,
original, completed and unpublished work, hence submissions should be
up to 5 pages plus an extra page for references (anonymous pdf).
Precise specifications and templates will be available very shortly on
the CSSP website, http://www.cssp.cnrs.fr/cssp2015/index_en.html
