MONTREAL WORKSHOP ON PROSODY AND CONSTITUENT STRUCTURE

Exploring the Interfaces (ETI) 3 will take place at McGill University from May 8-10, 2014. This workshop will be the last of three workshops organized by the McGill Syntactic Interfaces Research Group (McSIRG) as part of a multi-year grant to study linguistic interfaces. Following ETI 1 (Word structure) and ETI 2 (Implicatures, alternatives and the semantics/pragmatics interface), the topic of ETI 3 will be Prosody and Constituent Structure. Among the invited speakers at the event will be Judith Aissen and Jim McCloskey, as well as undergrad alum Joey Sabbagh.

In addition to the invited presentations, the organizers are soliciting abstracts for a limited number of additional talks (30 minutes, plus 10 minutes discussion) on topics related to the workshop themes, which include a particular focus on issues of prosodic and phonological structure in verb-initial languages. The abstract submission deadline is February 28th 2014. Abstracts can be submitted here and more information is available here and here.
