Seminar

Ora Matushansky / Friederike Moltmann:

REFERENCE: SYNTACTIC, SEMANTIC, AND PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES

Syntactic research on noun phrases has often been developed rather
separately from the semantic and the philosophical research on reference.
The aim of this seminar is to bring these three directions of research
together, for a fruitful and challenging interchange.
       After four overview sessions on key issues concerning the syntax
and semantics of NPs, we will discuss a range of current syntactic,  
semantic, and philosophical topics, such as the distinction between  
referential noun phrases and nonreferential ones (predicates, measure  
phrases, functional and intensional NPs, and expletives), generic NPs,  
the semantic structure of quantificational and numerical NPs, the  
notion of reference under a perspective, empty terms, the definition  
of a noun and the role of a sortal, and the presence / absence of the  
article.
        The seminar will include presentations by invited speakers  
from France and abroad. Two workshops are envisioned, one on  
(detached) selfreference and one on expletives and other quasi- or  
non-referential NPs. The full program will be available soon.

The seminar can be validated for the program Cogmaster at the DEC and  
possibly other universities by special arrangement. It will almost  
entirely be given in English
