Call Deadline: 15-May-2011 

Meeting Description:

The workshop will be held on Tue 20 Sept 2011, at the Salle de conférences,
CNRS Pouchet, 59 rue Pouchet, 75017 Paris.

Invités / Invited speakers:

- Denis Creissels (DDL - Lyon)
- Jim McCloskey (UC Santa Cruz)

The workshop focuses on the morphological, syntactic and semantic
properties of impersonal pronouns allowing human reference such as English
one, they, you, French on, ils, tu, ça, Germanic man/men. 

Call for Papers:

We encourage submissions exploring questions including - but not limited to
- the following:

- What are the differences between episodic and generic uses of impersonal
pronouns? Why do some pronouns not admit episodic uses? Is this contrast
better understood in terms of inclusiveness (generic being inclusive while
episodic impersonals are exclusive of the speaker)?
- What readings are available for the different case-forms of the pronouns?
- Why do impersonal human pronouns often have defective (French on) or
suppletive (German man) oblique forms?
- What are binding properties of impersonal human pronouns?
- What semantic restrictions are found for impersonal readings (types of
predicates, inclusive vs. exclusive readings, role of locative expressions
in the licensing of impersonal readings)?
- How do impersonal human pronouns differ from indefinite pronouns like
someone, impersonal uses of personal pronouns (3pl and 2sg/pl), and from
the human subject implicit in the interpretation of impersonal verb forms?

We invite submissions for 25-minute presentations (plus ten-minute
discussions).

Abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length (including examples and
references) written in French or English.

Abstracts must be anonymous and should be sent by e-mail (plain ASCII, rtf
or pdf) to: pcabredo at univ-paris8.fr

Please write the (first) author's name plus the word 'abstract' in the
subject line of your message (e.g., 'Dupont abstract'), and include author
name(s), affiliation, contact information and the title of the abstract in
the body of the email. For co-authored papers indicate the email address
that we should use for correspondence.

Abstracts should reach us by May 15, 2011.

Abstract Submission Deadline: May 15th, 2011

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
