CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop: Semantic Approaches to Binding Theory
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schlenker/ESSLLI04.html
organized as part of the
European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2004)
http://esslli2004.loria.fr/
16-20 August, 2004 in Nancy
Workshop Organizers:
Ed Keenan, UCLA (ekeenan@ucla.edu)
Philippe Schlenker, UCLA & IJN (schlenke@ucla.edu)
Workshop Purpose:
Binding Theory, which is concerned with sentence-internal constraints on
anaphora, was originally conceived in syntactic terms as a set of
conditions on the distribution of indices (Chomsky 1983). Thus Condition A
stated that anaphors are locally bound (*John/i thinks that himself/i is
clever); Condition B stated that Pronominals are locally free (*He/i likes
him/i), and Condition C required that R-expressions be free (*He/i thinks
that John/i is clever). But other researchers have attempted to derive these
constraints from lexical semantics or the interpretative procedure rather
than the syntax. Some add a semantic component to a syntactic core
(e.g. Reinhart 1983, Heim 1993, Fox 2000, Buring 2002), but others are more
radically semantic (e.g. works by Jacobson, Keenan, Barker & Shan, Butler).
The workshop, which is intended for advanced PhD students and researchers,
will provide a forum to compare and assess these diverse proposals. We
welcome proposals for 45mn contributions (30mn presentation + 15mn
discussion), which should be specific, explicit and semantically informed.
We list below some possible topics, though the list is not exhaustive.

Subject: informal CFP: tools development and literary theory
Dear HUMANISTs,
I'd like to propose a panel for the 2004 MLA conference (Dec. 27-30,
Philadelphia) that would explore elements of the literary studies
community's reaction to computer tool development (text analysis, &c.)
-- particularly how theorists might perceive the development of tools as
an activity that supports, tests, models, expands upon, &c, their work.
Please be in touch with me, off-list and before Christmas, if you might
be interested in participating in such a panel.
Cheers,
Ray
