Meeting Description:

What is Mayfest? Every year the Linguistics Department of the University of
Maryland organizes a state-of-the-art linguistics workshop. This year's Mayfest
is a Wh-fest, devoted to various phenomena in wh-studies, with a special focus
on syntactic and semantic issues.

The program will consist of our invited speakers, all experts in this area,
presenting high-level surveys of particular modules of wh-studies (e.g.,
locality in wh-movement, semantics of interrogatives and wh-phrases,
superiority, among others), highlighting unresolved issues. They will also
present some of their recent work on the subject. We anticipate a productive
workshop where many challenging issues receive a thorough look from a variety of
perspectives.

Invited Speakers:

Joseph Aoun (University of Southern California)
?eljko Bo?kovi? (University of Connecticut)
Ivano Caponigro (University of Milan-Bicocca/University of Maryland)
Barbara Citko (Brandeis University)
Ileana Comorovski (Universite Nancy 2)
