We cordially invite you to our joined workshop on Long-distance dependencies that will take place at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin from October 4th to October 5th, 2018.
Long-distance dependencies are a well-explored field of investigation. It is concerned with constructions involving a constituent that may be moved over a clause boundary. Traditionally, they include several types of wh-movement. Focusing on interrogatives and relatives, this workshop intends to bring together syntacticians from different grammatical frameworks (HPSG, Generative Grammar and others). Transformational frameworks like Generative Grammar often explain long-distance dependencies as the result of a movement operation. In contrast, lexicalist frameworks such as Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) do not assume movement. The goal is to explore and compare the quality and quantity of construction specific and syntactic descriptions needed to capture long-distance phenomena.
Given this range of phenomena, we welcome submissions contributing novel data and innovative approaches to all aspects of long-distance dependencies of interrogatives and relatives and their interaction.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at the LDD-workshop in Berlin!
The project Long-distance Dependencies in French: Comparative Analyses (HPSG and the Minimalist Program) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (Research Group DFG MU 2822/9-1, ME 1252/14-1.
