CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

========================================================
Constraint Solving and Language Processing - CSLP 2012 - 
Seventh International Workshop
Universite d'Orleans, Orleans, France
September 13-14, 2012
http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/evenements/CSLP2012/
========================================================

Registration is open for the Constraint Solving and Language Processing
(CSLP) workshop 2012. Researchers in Linguistics, Computer Science,
Psycholinguistics and other related fields are invited to participate to
the workshop, which will take place at the Univerity of Orleans (France,
120 km from Paris), on September 13 and 14. This is before SemDial 2012
(SeineDial), the 16th International Workshop on the Semantics and
Pragmatics of Dialogue (Paris, September 19-21, 2012) and TAG+11, the
11th International Workshop on Tree Adjoining Grammars and Related
Formalisms (Paris, September 26-28, 2012), which may be of interest to
the CSLP community.

The registration fees (100 EUR for students and 180 EUR for
non-students) cover the electronic proceedings (USB stick), the
participation to the coffee breaks, the lunches, the banquet, and the
social event (visit of the Chenonceau Royal Castle).

Title: "Grammars as Mechanisms for Real-Time Tree-Growth: Explaining
        Clitic Pronouns"

Abstract: In this talk, we argue for a shift of perspective into
defining grammars as mechanisms for incremental growth of interpretation
reflecting the time-line of processing (Dynamic Syntax: Kempson et
al. 2001, Cann et al. 2005, Chatzikyriakidis & Kempson 2011). The core
syntactic notion of this framework is that of monotonic context-relative
tree growth (following Blackburn & Meyer-Viol 1994), with both content
and structural parameters of underspecification and update. Our case
study is the puzzle of clitic pronoun clusters of Modern Greek dialects,
which illustrate both the low level morphological idiosyncracy of such
clusterings, and yet the broad cross-linguistic constraints to which
they are subject: these dialects display variants of the so-called
Person Case Constraint, a constraint whose generality continues to
provide a major challenge for current theoretical frameworks (Adger &
Harbour 2007, Heap 2005, among others). We show first how the limits on
variation displayed in such clusters are explicable in terms of a
constraint debarring more than one underspecified tree relation of a
type at a time, a constraint only expressible in a dynamical grammar
framework; and we give an analysis of Greek dialectal variation in these
terms. Then we explore the consequences of this theoretical perspective,
viz. the domain-generality of the system of growth underpinning
natural-language syntax; and we will suggest that metrical ambiguities
and metrical dissonance displayed in music (Vazan & Schober 2004, London
2012) are subject to the same restriction on real-time structural
processing.
