Meeting Description:

The Faculty of Philosophy and Literature of the National Autonomous University
of Mexico and the Center for Linguistic and Literary Studies of El Colegio de
México will host a workshop on definiteness across languages,  which will take
place in June 22-24, in Mexico City. The aim of this event is to bring
together linguists working on the syntactic and semantic description of
languages as well as on the development of theories in order to discuss
answers to two main questions: 

i. What formal strategies do natural languages use to express definiteness?
ii. What are the possible meanings of their definite noun phrases?

The invited speakers are: 
Bert Le Bruyn (Utrecht University) 
Florian Schwarz  (University of Pennsylvania)

Please send your questions to the following email address: 
definitenessacrosslanguages at gmail.com    

Organizers:

Ana Aguilar Guevara (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
Julia Pozas Loyo (El Colegio de México)
Violeta Vázquez-Rojas Maldonado (El Colegio de México)


2nd Call  for Papers: 

We invite submissions contributing to the study of the syntax, semantics and
pragmatics of any kind of definiteness, including, of course, regular
definiteness, but also less studied phenomena such as weak definites,
possessives, superlatives, neuter definites, etc.

Abstract submission:

Please submit an abstract in PDF format of no more than one page of text with
an additional page for extra data, figures, and references. This file must not
contain any personal information or affiliation, and must be submitted via
EasyChair. If you are not familiar with EasyChair, please follow the
submission instructions in
