The Workshop
Sidney Smith Hall 3130
19-20 June

This workshop is inspired by the following question: why do relativization, nominalization and complementation strategies so often overlap in natural languages? We plan explore this question with a variety of constructions across a number of languages. A range of topics will be dsicussed:
-
Nominalized clausal arguments
-
"Gapless" relatives: resumptive pronouns, internally headed relatives
-
The semantics of non-canonical embedding
-
CP-DP parallelism
​
There will also be Data Dive session, where local researchers will share new and exciting patterns.
