Call for Papers
Bare nouns: syntactic projections, and their interpretation

The workshop on "Bare nouns: syntactic projections, and their
interpretation" will be held at the University Paris Diderot –
Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle – UMR 7110 CNRS on 26th- 28th
November 2009.

The workshop is organized by the bilateral projects Hubert Currein –
Picasso 2007 – 2009 (resp. Carmen Dobrovie-Sorin, LLF Université Paris
Diderot, France) and Acció integrada hispanofrancesa HF 2007-0039
(resp. Maria Teresa Espinal, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain;
http://seneca.uab.cat/clt/activitats/congressos.html).

The workshop will consist of 10 talks by members of the
above-mentioned projects, and 10 selected talks (30 min. + 15 min. of
discussion) bearing on any aspects of the syntax and/or semantics of
bare nominals including the following: (i) Should we assume three
distinct levels of syntactic representation (DP, NumP and NP) or only
one (NP) or two (DP and NP)? (ii) Do we need to postulate little n and
if so, do we still need Number as a functional category or should we
analyze Number as a feature? (iii) What are the parameters that are
relevant for the crosslinguistic variation in the use of bare
nominals? (iv) Should classifiers be viewed as counterparts of Number
or rather as counterparts of Gender?

The languages of the workshop are English and French.
