Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

This workshop is an annual event on the inquiry of Formosan languages from a
Minimalist viewpoint. The theme of this year workshop is ‘infinitive’. While
finiteness is one of the core issues in syntax, it receives very little
attention in the Formosan literature, let alone its subtype ‘infinitive’. This
workshop aims to fill the gap. We invite generative Formosanists who have been
either working on finiteness or related issues for years to present their
recent findings on the issues. Moreover, for a broader perspective, we happily
invite Susanne Wurmbrand, who is a leading expert and publishes widely on
infinitives in Germanic languages.
