WORKSHOP ON AGREEMENT

September 16-17, 2002

UMIST (Manchester, UK)

Sponsored by ESRC and LAGB

The Surrey Morphology Group is organising a workshop on 
agreement, to be held in conjunction with the 2002 autumn 
meeting of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain.

The aim of the workshop is to disseminate the results from 
an ESRC project on agreement carried out by Greville Corbett, 
Dunstan Brown, Carole Tiberius, and Julia Barron. There 
will be papers by our consultants Nick Evans and Marianne 
Mithun, and further invited papers on agreement by Bernard 
Comrie, Maria Polinsky, and Anna Siewierska. 

The project involves a typological database which will be 
of interest to linguists of different persuasions and to 
psycholinguists. The workshop will take place on 16-17 
September 2002, immediately before the LAGB. At the 
workshop, there will be opportunity for discussion, but 
we are not inviting additional papers.

It is hoped that participants at the workshop will stay on 
to the LAGB and offer abstracts to the main meeting.

Booking information will be available through the LAGB 
circulars. In the meantime, we welcome expressions of 
interest (to c.tiberius at surrey.ac.uk).
