Intertheoretical approaches to complex verb constructions

Eleventh Rice Biennial Symposium

Date: March 16th-18th, 2006

Rice University's Linguistics Department will be hosting its Eleventh 
Linguistic Symposium in March 2006. The aim of the symposium is to draw 
together different theoretical approaches to the various types of 
complex predicates found in the languages of the world. Emphasis is on 
drawing together work on different language families and in different 
linguistic frameworks.

The current confirmed speakers are:

Andrew Garrett (UC Berkeley)
T. Givon(Oregon)
Alice Harris (SUNY Stony Brook)
Martin Hilpert and Christian Koops (Rice)
Simin Karimi (U Arizona)
Andrew Pawley (Australian National University)
Kingkarn Thepkanjana (Chulalongkorn University)
Keren Rice (U Toronto)
Eva Schultze-Berndt (Karl-Franzens-Universitä´ Graz)
Masayoshi Shibatani (Rice)

We would like to invite expressions of interest for additional papers 
directed towards the symposium theme; we anticipate having space for 
approximately three more speakers. Talks will be 45 minutes, with 15 
minutes for questions. While there will be no formal position paper, 
speakers will be asked to keep in mind a general set of questions which 
will form the main issues for discussion at the symposium. It is 
anticipated that a collection of papers from the volume will be 
published following the symposium.

If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send an article you 
have written on this general topic, along with a brief biographical 
statement, by email to
