L'UMR 7023 a le plaisir de vous convier, dans le cadre des séances de 
son séminaire,

le lundi 17 décembre
10h00-13h00, Université Paris VIII, 2, rue de la liberté, 93200 Saint-
Denis (métro Saint-Denis Université, ligne 13), bâtiment D, salle D 
143,

aux conférences suivantes :

- 10h00-11h30 : Robert Freidin (Princeton University) : "Reflections 
on the Syntactic Cycle"
Résumé :
This talk will reconsider the concept of the syntactic cycle: it's 
formulation, empirical motivation, and status in current syntactic 
theory that pursues the minimalist program.  The cycle stands at the 
core of a derivational approach to syntax.  We will explore some 
problems for this approach concerning the nature of linguistic 
judgments.

- 11h30-13h00 : Elena Guerzoni (University of South California) : "The 
analysis of the presupposition, projection and distributional 
properties of a set of syntactically and morphologically complex focus 
particles in Italian, German, Dutch, Japanese and Korean."
Résumé :
All these apparently idiomatic complex expressions combine an additive 
semantics (like English also) and an exclusive one (like English even) 
plus apparently incompatible scalar requirements (like even vs. only).  
My current work presents a detailed analysis of how each implicature of 
each component of the relevant particles is predicted to affect the 
implicatures of the other from the perspective of an explicit model of 
presupposition projection. This analysis is shown to correctly account 
for the resulting meanings and presuppositions these particle clusters 
generate and, at the same time, their limited distribution.
