Programme WAASAP!

[Rafael Marin]

Workshop on Aspect and Argument Structure of Adjectives and Participles 
(WAASAP!)
Dates: 22-23 June 2012
Venue: University of Greenwich, London (UK)
Organizers: María J. Arche, Antonio Fábregas, Rafael Marín

This workshop is the first one of a series about aspect and argument 
structure across categories and it is dedicated to adjectives and 
participles.

Invited Speakers:

Professor Timothy Stowell (University of California Los Angeles)
Dr Andrew Koontz-Garboden (University of Manchester)

In the past few years there has been an important body of literature 
about the relationship between Aspect and Argument Structure (Borer 
2005; Ramchand 2008; Ritter&Rosen 2000, 2005; Rothstein 2008). The vast 
majority of studies have concentrated on verbs and also, in a minor 
degree, on (deverbal) nouns. However, much less is known in this respect 
about adjectives and participles. In this workshop we want to fill this 
gap by gathering researchers working on different aspects of Argument 
Structure and Aspect of adjectives and participles. Our aim is to bring 
together researchers from different approaches to discuss the 
articulation of the syntax, semantics and morphology of this part of the 
grammar in order to identify points of consensus and new venues for 
research.
