Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Semantics; Syntax

Meeting Description:

The workshop is devoted to syntactic expletives in a broad sense, that
is any morphosyntactically realized material that can be treated as
semantically empty, or only weakly contentful. The talks will address
the following questions, among others:

What are some criteria for deciding if an element is semantically
bleached/empty?

How can varying degrees of semantic contentfulness be handled
empirically and theoretically?

How do models of the syntax/semantics interface that are canonically
compositional accommodate syntactic elements that are not fully
interpreted?

Invited speakers

Elena Anagnostopoulou (University of Crete)
Ash Asudeh (University of Rochester)
Uli Sauerland (ZAS Berlin)
Hedde Zeijlstra (University of Göttingen)
