Meeting Description:

A Workshop to held July 18-19, 2003 at the LSA Linguistic Institute
Michigan State University

Invited Speakers

Michael Walsh Dickey, Northwestern University
Mark Steedman, University of Edinburgh

A particularly active area of research in current linguistic theory is
the syntax and semantics of Tense, Aspect, Modality and Events. It
often takes some time for theoretical advances to influence
psycholinguistic work, in part because communication between linguists
and psycholinguists is not always optimal. Results from formal work on
Tense, Aspect, Modality, and Events seem especially likely to lead to
significant experimental and computational work. For this reason, we
have planned a 2 day workshop designed to bring together researchers
from both linguis tics and psycholinguistics who are working on these
topics, and we invite you to participate.
