Meeting URL: https://mitcho.com/subjex/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

In many languages of the world, the extraction (e.g. questioning or
relativization) of subjects behaves differently from that of non-subject
arguments. Such quirks manifest in different forms, but the identification of
subjects as the locus of such quirky behavior is remarkably robust across
languages. This workshop will bring together a group of established and
emerging experts on the cross-linguistic landscape of subject extraction
asymmetries, their theory, and implications.

Invited speakers:
- Edith Aldridge
- Nico Baier
- Amy Rose Deal
- Jamie Douglas
- Doreen Georgi
- David Pesetsky
- Masha Polinsky

Workshop attendance is free for all. Please see the website for details.

Organized by Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine, National University of Singapore.
Supported by a grant from the Singapore Ministry of Education.
