SynCom WORKSHOP
The Empirical Contributions of Generative Linguistics
Research in generative syntax has seen an explosive growth over the
past thirty years. An unfortunate consequence of this extraordinary
success is that it is becoming increasingly difficult both for
students and for researchers to keep track of the developments,
particularly (but not only) in those sub-fields which are not directly
related to their own research. It is thus not surprising that less and
less can be assumed to be shared knowledge among linguists, and that
more and more research and empirical findings are either forgotten or
ignored.
One attempt at countering this tendency is the work currently being
carried out on a "Syntax Companion" (SynCom) at the Netherlands
Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences
(NIAS). SynCom will be a Hypertext CD-Rom which attempts to furnish
the reader with complete and coherent descriptions of central results
of syntactic research over the last thirty years. These syntactic case
studies will focus on empirically defined domains from a variety of
languages - such as "Bare plurals", "Clitic Doubling", "Split
Ergativity", or "Object Shift" - which have played an important role
at some stage in the history of generative grammar. The emphasis is on
more or less robust empirical results that can be said to be (to a
certain degree) independent of the precise properties of syntactic
theory at any given moment of time. The idea is that such case
descriptions may provide an intermediate level between introductory
textbooks and original research, and that the articles in SynCom may
function as an introduction to the latter, helping students and
researchers to get an overview of a sub-field, and providing a
perspective in which to see individual research contributions. It is
hoped that SynCom may become an essential research tools for
theoretical linguists, psycholinguists, computational linguists,
sociolinguists, etc.
As part of this enterprise, a workshop is organized on June 27 & 28,
1997 at NIAS, Wassenaar, the Netherlands.
