Meeting Description:

The National University of Singapore will host a two-day Workshop on
Approaches to Wh-Intervention, June 6–7, 2019. This workshop centers around a
discussion of so-called ''intervention effects'' in wh-questions (Beck 1996,
2006, and many others), where certain quantificational elements are banned
from preceding or scoping over an in-situ wh-word. Theories of this sort of
effect differ considerably in exactly what the effect is attributed to, and
how the phenomenon is related to other intervention configurations.

The workshop will bring together researchers active in this domain, aiming to
define and delimit the domains of such phenomena, and to foster the
cross-pollination of ideas between leading scholars of the topic. We are
pleased to welcome the following invited speakers for six plenary talks which
will present various perspectives on the problem:

- Sigrid Beck (Tübingen)
- Kenyon Branan (NUS) & Norvin Richards (MIT)
- Jessica Coon (McGill) & Stefan Keine (USC)
- Hadas Kotek (Yale)
- Satoshi Tomioka (Delaware)
- Ming Xiang (Chicago)

Limited space is available for additional, short talks to be presented.

The workshop is organized by Kenyon Branan and Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine, and
supported by the Singapore Ministry of Education.


Call for Papers:

We welcome contributions from scholars on this topic: work that allows us to
properly delimit the domains of intervention phenomena, and how novel data
and/or methods might allow us to decide between different types of theories.
Limited space is available for short talks (30 minutes, including questions)
to be presented. Please send abstracts (up to two pages) to
interventionworkshop2019 at gmail.com by March 31, 2019.
