Polarity From Different Perspectives
March 11 - 13, 2005
[ Workshop Home | Schedule | Register | Electronic Posters | Hotels | Restaurants ]
This workshop will bring together representatives of several fields to explore questions such as, What is the relation between positive polarity, negative polarity, and negative concord? What family of syntactic relations does polarity licensing belong to, and how does it interact with grammatical architecture? Does polarity sensitivity derive from scalar semantics/pragmatics? Given that polarity items and their licensors come in many flavors, is there a unified theory for polarity? What insights do monotonicity properties offer into inferencing in logical, computational, and psychological terms? How are polarity properties acquired?
