Meeting Description: 

CRISSP is proud to present the tenth installment of the Brussels Conference on
Generative Linguistics (BCGL), devoted to the morphology and semantics of
person and number.

Person (in pronominal elements such as independent pronouns, pronominal
clitics and affixes and agreement markers) is often believed to be a universal
morphosynctactic category in language, which shows great variation in its
morphology. This can be seen in for example the different syncretism patterns
that exist between the individual persons and across the numbers. Person and
number also show variation in the morphological composition of the individual
pronominal elements, in some cases resulting in a markedness hierarchy.
Semantic distinctions also play a role in these markedness relations. BCGL 10
wants to explore these and related issues.
