Subject: Workshop on Linguistic Variation at the Interfaces

Full Title: Workshop on Linguistic Variation at the Interfaces 

Date: 16-Nov-2017 - 17-Nov-2017
Location: Madrid, Spain 
Contact Person: Luis Eguren
Meeting Email: varint17 at easychair.org
Web Site: https://sites.google.com/site/workshopinterfaces/ 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 01-May-2017 

Meeting Description:

The main aim of this workshop is to widen our understanding of the empirical
phenomena displaying linguistic variation relevant to the following three
interfaces: the lexicon-syntax interface, the syntax-discourse interface, and
the syntax-prosody interface. Papers on the role of linguistic variation at
these interfaces, the role of interface conditions, and, more generally, their
relevance in the design of the overall  grammatical architecture are welcome.

Invited Speakers:

Artemis Alexiadou -  Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Elly van Gelderen - Arizona State University
Luis López - University of Illinois at Chicago
Norvin Richards - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Call for Papers:

As for the lexicon-syntax interface, we invite papers that address linguistic
variation in empirical domains that include but are not restricted to:
lexicalization patterns (see Levin & Rappaport Hovav (in press) and
Acedo-Matellán & Mateu 2015, for two recent overviews), causatives and
applicatives (Pylkkänen 2008, Marantz 2013, and Cuervo 2015, i.a.), and
argument structure alternations (Ramchand 2013 and Alexiadou, Anagnostopolou &
Shäfer 2015, i.a.). Proposals on the linguistic variation involved in the
formation of nominalizations (Alexiadou & Rathert 2010, i.a.), participles
(Embick 2004, i.a.), deverbal adjectives (Oltra-Massuet 2014),
denominal/deadjectival verbs (Harley 2005, i.a.) are also welcome. We also aim
to address linguistic variation at the lexicon-syntax interface from a
diachronic point of view (e.g., van Gelderen 2011 & 2014 on causative and
psych predicates, respectively). Finally, regarding the different insights
into the morphology-syntax interface, we also invite theoretical proposals
that deal with linguistic variation in the context of the
lexicalist/endoskeletal vs. constructivist/exoskeletal debate (e.g., cf. Borer
2005-2013 and Wechsler 2015, i.a.). 

With respect to the syntax-discourse interface, we aim at addressing the
linguistic variation involved in the interaction between the syntactic
component and pragmatic principles, which touches on a bunch of phenomena that
have been at the forefront of linguistic theory for the last thirty years
(word order phenomena, topic-focus articulation, the left periphery of the
clause, complementizers and discourse particles, illocutionary force,
subordination, speaker anchoring; cf. Rizzi 1997; Chomsky 2008; Haegeman 2012;
Wiltschko 2014, i.a.). The specific topics to be discussed include (but are
not restricted to) the following: modality and its manifestations in the left
periphery of the clause; the relations between subordination marks and verbal
morphology; word order and information structure; the left periphery of
measure phrases as well as the comparison of cartographic and non-cartographic
approaches (cf. Rizzi 1997; López 2009; Ordóñez 1997; Ott 2014, i.a.).

Regarding the syntax-prosody interface, the workshop will focus on linguistic
variation and the correspondence relation between the syntactic and prosodic
constituent structure (Richards 2010, Mathieu 2016) and how this
correspondence can be affected by information structure (Zubizarreta 1998;
Frascarelli 2000, i.a.). The topics we are interested in include, but are not
restricted to, the following: theoretical models of the syntax-prosody
interface (Selkirk 2011, i.a.); the relationship between phrasal prominence
and focus structure (Irutzun 2007, i.a.); the role of peripheral elements such
as vocatives (D’Alessandro & van Oostendorp 2016), dislocations (Feldhausen
2016; Samek-Lodovici 2015, i.a.), discourse particles (Heim et al., i.a.), and
the interaction of word order with prosody (Vanrell-Bosch & Fernández Soriano
2013, i.a.), among others.

Authors are asked to submit their abstracts in an anonymous PDF file to the
following site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=varint17

If you do not have an EasyChair account, please follow the instructions
provided and create one. 

Abstracts should be no longer than two pages in length (including examples and
references), in Times New Roman 12-point font, single line spacing and 2,5 cm.
margins. Please specify whether your submission is for an oral presentation,
poster or both. 

Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract
per author.
