Silent Issues in Linguistic Theory 2008

Call for Papers

Ellipsis has been a target of investigation from the earliest days of generative grammar. Formalizing a general principle of recoverability of deletion has been a core issue, plus there have been intensive debate about how to formalize a notion of ?identity? between the antecedent and the target of deletion. In this workshop, we would like to explore the nature of these issues from diverse perspectives of linguistic areas: syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse.

We welcome abstracts particularly concerning the following three main topics: 1. Fragments, short answers, or nonsentential utterances 2. Right node raising or verbless coordination 3. Case marker deletion or Xo deletion in general

Other related topics may include (multiple) sluicing, stripping, gapping, VP-ellipsis, N?/DP-ellipsis, null pronouns. However, we strongly encourage the abstracts of these sub-topics to be closely tied to the three main topics above.

Important Dates:

�?? August 31, 2007: Deadline for submitting the abstract. �?? November 30, 2007: Notification of acceptance.
