Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The first workshop related to the ERC project From Maps to Principles:
Syntactic Cartography and Locality (SynCart) will be held from July 11 till
July 15, 2016 in Chiusi-Siena-Pienza-Montepulciano, Italy.

The SynCart project, hosted by the Department of Linguistics at the University
of Geneva since 2014, aims to break new ground in syntactic theory,
comparative syntax and acquisition by combining three main strands of
research:

1. the cartography of syntactic structures, which attempts to draw detailed
maps of syntactic configurations
2. the theory of syntactic locality, with special reference to intervention
and delimitation principles
3. the minimalist investigation of the fundamental ingredients of syntactic
computations

Interconnected issues of cartography and locality are addressed both in the
adult grammar, and in language acquisition.

The first SynCart workshop will be devoted primarily to general theoretical
and descriptive issues bearing on syntactic cartography.

There are still a few slots available for graduate students and junior
researchers to participate in the workshop.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (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 eLinguistics 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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
