Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The proposed workshop aims to cross-examine the structures of clausal and
nominal complements, both in monolingual and bilingual contexts. 

The emphasis of the workshop is on the left periphery of complements. The
presentations will therefore focus on (a) the left periphery of the clause, a
domain in which languages may be parametrized differently, leading to
linguistic variation (Chomsky 1995, Rizzi 1997, Poletto & Pollock 1999,
Belletti 2001, Haegeman 2003, Saito 2010, to name a few) and (b) the nominal
phrase and its edge (Laenzlinger 2005, Giusti 2006, Ihsane 2008, Polletto
2014, and others). 

The theme of the workshop also includes the left periphery of bilingual
grammar, a topic that generative linguists started to pay attention to in
recent years, especially in relation to diverse patterns of code-switching, a
linguistic phenomenon of mixing two (or more) languages by bi- or
multi-lingual speakers. The results of code-switching research show that the
left periphery of a particular functional category such as C, D, or v is the
locus of parametric variation, deriving certain patterns of code-switching
(Liceras et al., 2005, Liceras 2009, Eichler et al., 2012, González-Vilbazo &
López 2012, Shim 2013, Parafita Couto et al. 2015). Thus, they strongly
confirm the validity of the linguistic theories proposed to account for
monolingual grammar in the field of generative grammar.

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 Indiana University 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.
