Meeting Description: 

The purpose of this workshop is to explore mismatches – and the interpretive
processes by which they are resolved – when these involve functional
categories with semantic features (‘interpretable’ features, in Adger &
Svenonius 2009; ‘morphosyntactic’ features, in Kibort & Corbett 2010;
‘procedural’ meaning', in Escandell-Vidal et al 2011).  Some of the more
significant examples of this kind of mismatches are found between tense (or
grammatical aspect) and lexical aspect, between quantifiers and nouns (or
adjectives), or between copulas and non-verbal predicates, among other cases.
The workshop will be a forum to bring together researchers from areas such as
syntax, semantics or pragmatics, and combines theoretical, experimental and
applied approaches.  Understanding how these phenomena work is a fundamental
step towards an adequate articulation of the grammar/pragmatics interface.

The core questions we intend to focus on include the following:

- Under what conditions are non-matching feature combinations allowed?
- Between which units, and levels of representation, are mismatches
legitimated?
- What are the status and properties of the operations for restoring
mismatches?
- What are the limits and limitations of these processes?
- What are the implications and consequences of mismatch resolution processes
for linguistic theory in general, and for the semantics/pragmatics interface
in particular?
- What are the consequences and implications of mismatch resolution for
language acquisition and learning?
- What do these processes tell us about the way in which human cognition
represents and manages meaning?
