Week 1 [2024-04-03 Wed]

We proposed some topics that we might discuss this semester:

  1. Plausibility
  2. Construction Grammar
  3. HPSG
  4. Islands
  5. Gradience
  6. Derivational Timing
  7. The relation between Syntactic and Semantic Modules
  8. what an Interface actually is
  9. Direct compositionality vs LF interpretation
  10. What is meaning?

They are numbered only for convenience, and more suggestions are welcome!

We will begin next time with plausibility. This paper by Baggio et al is our agreed upon reference point.
