Barcelona | September 14-16, 2009


This workshop aims at understanding linguistic variation of nominal systems across several languages, bringing together syntacticians and semanticists. The novelty of the workshop is to explore noun phrases, their structure and interpretation, from a comparative-syntax perspective and a formal semantics approach. Special attention will be devoted to microvariation effects on the expression of "number" and "definiteness".

The workshop will explore three different and related topics to be analysed in order to achieve a broad crosslinguistic understanding of nominal systems in natural languages, both from a morphosyntactic and a semantic perspective.
