Motivating Movement: explaining the displacement property in natural language

Dates: 26-28 January 2001

University of Ulster at Jordanstown

Invited speakers

Liliane Haegeman Lille
Jim McCloskey UCSC
David Pesetsky MIT

This conference aims to bring together syntacticians to consider
what is probably one of the key issues in syntactic theory.

Why do languages have (apparent) processes which move
elements in sentences/derivations? Is this an 'imperfection' of the
system? What triggers displacement? What is the nature of EPP?

Papers are invited on syntax (including acquisition and syntactic
change) which throw light on why apparent movement exists, how
it should be handled in syntactic theory, or the nature of
'movement' processes in particular languages or sentence types.

Guidelines for submission of abstracts:

Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 30 November 2000
