LSA Workshop at Harvard - July 2, 2005
Recent Developments in OT Syntax & Semantics
This workshop brings
together prominent researchers representing three formal variants of OT
as well as submitted contributions. THere will be two sessions: a morning
session devoted to a variety of phenomena in syntax, semantics and the
interfaces, and an afternoon session with a special focus on Case exemplifying
the three current formal trends: typology by re-ranking; bi-directional
OT, and stochastic OT.
Attendance: Open to all LSA participants, free of charge
Location: Harvard University, Emerson Hall, Room 108 (next to the Widener Library)
