CRISSP is happy to announce a CRISSP Lecture Series with Ian Roberts (University of Cambridge) on December 16-19, 2014. The title of the Lecture Series is ‘Parameter Hierarchies and Comparative Syntax’. The course looks at a way to break new ground in syntactic theory by reconceptualising the principles-and-parameters approach to comparative syntax, retaining its strengths and attempting to deal with its perceived weaknesses.
We are happy two new installments in the CRISSP Seminar series: Theo Janssen on December 2 and David Adger on December 9.
CRISSP is happy to announce the the third edition of Logic Now and Then (LNAT3), which will take place on February 5-6, 2015.
The conference will be devoted to the relationship between the semantics and pragmatics of logical constants (connectives, quantifiers, modal operators). Its aim is to critically assess and contribute to semantic and pragmatic theories developed for constructions containing such operators in natural language.
Marijke De Belder (CRISSP) will give a talk at the Syntax Interface Lectures Utrecht on 27 October, 2014. Title of the talk: ‘On vowel lengthening in Dutch diminutives.’
Jeroen van Craenenbroeck (CRISSP) and Marjo van Koppen (Universiteit Utrecht) are invited speakers at the Workshop ‘Variation in C. Macro- and Micro-comparative Approaches to Complementizers and the CP Phase’ in Venice.
We are happy to announce another installment in the CRISSP Seminar series. Jóhanna Barðdal (Ghent University) will give a talk on “How to Identify Cognates in Syntax: Taking Watkins’ Legacy One Step Further”.
Marijke De Belder will give two talks in September, at SLE and at CGSW.
CRISSP is currently looking for a PhD student who will do scientific research in the domain of formal linguistics.
Marijke De Belder will give a talk at the workshop ‘Allomorphy: its logic and limitations’ on July 6th, 2014.
The article “Logico-cognitive structure in the lexicon” by Dany Jaspers (CRISSP / KU Leuven) and Pieter Seuren (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen) will appear in the influential journal Language.
