Linguistic Field(s): Semantics 

Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2010 

Meeting Description:

The workshop focuses on the semantic component of intervention effects. Both semantic evidence to detect intervention effects and semantic explanations for intervention effects are of relevance. Of particular interest are semantic characterizations of interveners and the configurations excluded by intervention effects.

The questions that are of interest and will be addressed in the workshop include the following:

-In which areas do intervention effects arise? Are there phenomena that qualify as intervention effects but haven't been classified as such yet?
-Do excluded constellation lead to semantic ill-formedness?
-Are interveners the same across the different phenomena?
-Can the elements that act as interveners be characterized in a unified way?
-Is it possible to give a unified explanation for intervention effects across different phenomena?

Organizers: 

Arnim von Stechow, Doris Penka
