This workshop focuses on integrative approaches to language that take two primary forms:

(1) explanations that cut across the traditional boundaries of linguistic domains (phonetics, phonology,morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse)

(2) explanations that are motivated by, and attempt to capture, data of a diversity of disciplinary perspectives, not only judgments of acceptability, but also issues in the processing, acquisition breakdown, and mental representation of language. 

The workshop is built around three themes, each occupying a different day:

        Jan 22: Agreement

        Jan 23: Categoricity and Variation in Phonology

        Jan 24: Explanations of Word Order

Given the breadth of these topics, speakers for each day are asked to focus on a set of questions. These questions, along with the schedule, are available by clicking on the link for each day.

Organizers: William Badecker, Robert Frank, and Paul Smolensky
