Form-meaning mismatches in natural language

Host Institution: Georg August Universität Göttingen
Website: http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/form-meaning+mismatches+in+natural+language/575177.html

Dates: 30-Jul-2018 - 10-Aug-2018
Location: Göttingen, Niedersachsen, Germany

Focus: This summer school is about the mapping between form and meaning. The idea that the form of a sentence reflects its meaning or the other way round is challenged by formal elements that are not reflected in the decomposition of meaning or by the presence of meaning components without straightforward exponents in the form of linguistic expressions. The lectures in this summer school introduce to the contribution of current advancements in linguistic theory and empirical research to the understanding of such form-meaning mismatches and examine a wide range of related phenomena such as agreement, negative and other types of concord, silent semantic operators, meaning enrichment through pragmatic reasoning, and the complex syntactic and semantic properties of particles.
