 PERSPECTIVES ON NEGATION
 Sponsored by the NWO Pionier program
 To be held at the University of Groningen
 August 24-26, 1996
 
The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for current work in
the syntax/ semantics interface directed at the study of negation and
negative polarity.  We welcome papers on the semantics of negation;
the effects of negation on aspect and anaphora; the import of negation
and denial for theories of the dynamic interpretation of discourse;
the licensing of negative polarity items; the acquisition of negation
and polarity items; and the syntax and semantics of negative concord.
