CNRS Pouchet, Salle de conférences
59 rue Pouchet, 75017 Paris
Workshop organised by the project (Co-)distributivity of the Fédération Typologie et universaux du langage (CNRS FR 2559)
Invited speakers :

Viola Schmitt (Wien)
We encourage submissions exploring the linguistic means used to establish distributive dependencies, including, but not limited to, questions like the following :
- the syntax and semantics of markers of distributive keys (e.g. distributive quantifiers) or distributive shares (e.g. Hungarian reduplicated numerals)
- multiplication effects for indefinite singulars (e.g. He eats a sandwich for breakfast.)
- distribution effects for plurals (e.g. dependent plurals : Here professors wear ties.)
- distribution effects over times (e.g. A lot of people have been dying of this disease lately).
We welcome work on formal syntax and semantics on distributive dependencies (distributivity and co-distributivity) in spoken and sign languages.
We invite submissions for 25-minute presentations (plus ten-minute discussions).
Abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length (including examples and references) written in French or English.
Abstracts must be anonymous and should be sent by e-mail (plain ASCII, rtf, ps or pdf) to: codistr@pouchet.cnrs.fr
Abstract Submission Deadline : 7 Dec 2014
