Meeting Description: 

This workshop brings together researchers from different areas working on
structural aspects of grammar in African languages, and in particular on
structural asymmetries. Apart from contributing novel data to the discussion,
the workshop evaluates the consequences of the empirical observations for our
understanding of the grammar of human language: Do the data support or falsify
existing theoretical approaches to structural asymmetries? Do the data make
the existence of asymmetries in the grammatical architecture of languages
mandatory, or do they allow for less restricted approaches? Do they allow us
to refine less well understood aspects of previous approaches? What can we
learn about the cause of the observed asymmetries? What do the findings tell
us about the overall architecture of grammar and the interfaces between
(morpho)syntax, phonology/phonetics and semantics/pragmatics? This workshop
aims at answering at least some of these questions.
