Linguistic Variation in the Interaction between Internal and External Syntax

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The aim of this workshop is to look at linguistic variation from the perspective of the interaction between the internal and external syntax of XPs. In particular, how are syntactic mechanisms (e.g. case assignment, agree, EPP movement, etc.) and the distribution of linguistic items in the syntactic tree influenced by the internal structure of such lexical/grammatical items? And, what type of variation do we find in this domain?
