Workshope 'Binominal Denominave NPs', June 2, Paris

[Arapinis Alexandra]

Workshop on 'Binominal Denominative NPs'

June 2, 2012

IHPST, Grande Salle
13 rue du Four, 75006 Paris

'Binominal denominative NPs' are NPs like 'the name John', 'the poet Goethe', 'the
concept 'horse'', 'the truth value true' and 'the number eight'. Such NPs have
not received much attention in the syntactic and semantic literature, even though
they present extremely interesting challenges to syntactic and semantic theory
as well as to philosophy of language. The construction involves issues in the
syntax and semantics of quotation as well as semantic strategies of 'reification'.
This workshop will address empirical linguistic generalizations concerning the
construction in different languages, syntactic and semantic approaches to their
analysis as well as philosophical issues.
