Linguistics Flash-Mobs

系列视频会议

在当前的特殊时期下，我们特推出“Linguistics Flash-Mobs” 系列视频会议，以期保持语言学社区的紧密联系。接下来的每场会议中，两位著名学者将使用不同的框架对学界长期存在的理论问题进行一场场妙趣横生的“论战”！

此次线上活动由Cecilia Poletto主办，C. Gianollo, A. Giorgi, C. Guardiano, M. T. Guasti, M. R. Manzini, E. Pagliarini, E. Sanfelici, A. Tomaselli协办。

"Linguistics Flash - Mobs" is a series of video conferences thought to be a way to keep the linguistic community connected during this troublesome period. In each conference, two seminal scholars will face long-standing theoretical issues making use of different frameworks: fun is guaranteed with these "sword fights"!

This project has been thought and organised by Cecilia Poletto, with the help of C. Gianollo, A. Giorgi, C. Guardiano, M. T. Guasti, M. R. Manzini, E. Pagliarini, E. Sanfelici, A. Tomaselli.

Introduction to the key participants

主要参会者简介

Richard Kayne

Richard Kayne（Richard Stanley Kayne）于1969年从麻省理工学院获得语言学博士学位，现任纽约大学语言学系教授。他的主要贡献包括在转换生成语法的框架下对英语以及罗曼语句法的研究。他的反对称理论已经成为了最简方案的经典论断。

Richard Kayne （Richard Stanley Kayne） is Professor of Linguistics in the Linguistics Department at New York University. He studied linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving his Ph.D. in 1969. He has made prominent contributions to the study of the syntax of English and the Romance languages within the framework of transformational grammar. His theory of Antisymmetry has become part of the canon of the Minimalist syntax literature.

Ad Neeleman

Ad Neeleman (Adriaan Dirk Neeleman)，活跃于英国的荷兰语言学家，现任伦敦大学语言学教授，于1994年在荷兰乌特列芝大学获得博士学位。他的研究主要侧重于句法学、语义学、音系学及它们之间的接口问题。他的研究虽然属于生成语法体系，但与乔姆斯基的最简方案略有不同。在研究中他运用了另外一种生成方法：优选理论。

Ad Neeleman （Adriaan Dirk Neeleman） is a Dutch linguist based in the UK. He is Professor of Linguistics at University College London. He completed his PhD at the University of Utrecht in 1994. His research focusses on syntax, semantics and phonology, and particularly on the interfaces between them. His work is part of the tradition of generative grammar, but differs in several important respects from the Minimalist Program of Noam Chomsky. Neeleman has also made use of Optimality Theory, another generativist approach.

Michelle Sheehan

Michelle Sheehan，安格利亚鲁斯金大学语言学教授，2015年8月进入安格利亚鲁斯金大学，2020年成为教授。她的研究兴趣主要包括语言结构（句法）、语言差异/语言演变以及如何模拟这种变体（类型学、对比句法），尤其对拉丁语后裔语言（罗曼语）最为感兴趣。Michelle目前在与英国、德国、西班牙和巴西的学者共同研究一些课题，包括论元结构（致使结构）、传承语、格标记和一致性（实证角度和理论角度）以及未表示的论元（控制）。

Michelle Sheehan，Professor of Linguistics at Anglia Ruskin University. Michelle has been at ARU since August 2015, being promoted to Professor in 2020. She is interested in the structure of language (syntax), how languages vary/change and how we can model this variation (typology, comparative syntax), with a particular interest in languages descended from Latin (Romance languages). Michelle is currently collaborating with academics in the UK, Germany, Spain, and Brazil on issues related to argument structure (causative constructions), heritage languages, case and agreement (experimental and theoretical perspectives) and unexpressed arguments (Control).

Linearisation

线性

此次会议主要围绕三个问题展开：

1. 领先性是在句法中的关系还是仅仅只是外化接口中的关系？

2. 是否存在潜在普遍的中心语前置语序？

3. 基于已有模型，像外置结构这样的现象该如何分析？

1. Is precedence a relation defined in core syntax or only at the externalization interface?

2. Is there an underlying universal head initial order?

3. Given your model, how is a phenomenon like extraposition analysed?
