Harvard Workshop on Movement

There will be a workshop on movement at Harvard, May 7. Abstracts are due on April 1.

From the organizers, Cedric Boeckx and Clemens Mayr:

The workshop is designed to bring people together, whose work has bearing on the nature of syntactic movement and its relation to the interfaces between the computational and other cognitive systems. Obvious fields of interest are topics such as linearisation and movement for the PF interface, or quantifier-scope for the LF interface. But there are numerous other topics that would fall into this domain. For instance, an important question to be addressed would be, whether all syntactic movement is the same, or whether the interfaces impose specific restrictions that only need to be met by a subset of "movements". That said, it is clear that there is a broad range of possible topics. We are planning to invite about 8 abstracts for that day. Slots will be 35-40 minutes with focus on discussion afterwards.
