Location: Barcelona, Spain
Contact: Louise McNally

Meeting URL: http://www.upf.edu/dtf/adjectives

Linguistic Field(s): Semantics

Meeting Description:

This workshop is devoted to the lexical semantics of adjectives and
adverbs, particularly adverbs of manner and degree. It will be structured
in four thematic sessions, each of which consists of two talks and an
extended commentary. The topics of the sessions are:
- Issues at the syntax-semantics interface
- Gradability
- Adjectives, adverbs and event structure
- Adjectives, adverbs and presupposition

The goal is to bring together recent research in these domains in an effort
to establish points of connection
- between the semantics of adjectives and adverbs in general
- between the syntactic distribution of adjectives/adverbs on the one hand
and their semantics/pragmatics on the other
- between the event structures associated with adjectives/adverbs and their
gradability characteristics, and
- between the lexical semantics of adjectives/adverbs and their behavior in
discourse

Speakers include: Chris Barker, Olivier Bonami, Violeta Demonte, Jenny
Doetjes, Regina Eckardt, Daniele Godard, Graham Katz, Christopher Kennedy,
Richard Larson, Louise McNally, Marin Morzycki, Christopher Potts, Gina
Taranto, and Hiroko Yamakido.

A complete program and talk titles will be announced shortly on the web page.

Registration for the workshop is free, but we request that those
individuals interested in attending sign up by web at
