About the speaker
人物简介
Mark Baker
Mark Baker于1985年从麻省理工学院获得语言学博士学位，现为美国罗格斯大学语言学及认知科学杰出教授。他曾在麦吉尔大学（蒙特利尔）任教12年，其后自1998年起在罗格斯大学担任教学工作。Baker教授尤其关注目前研究较少的语言的句法及形态，包括美洲、非洲和亚洲等地的语言。他试图将生成理论、实地调查中收集的（来自不同语言的）数据以及类型学比较结合起来，并把这种方法称之为形式生成类型学（Formal Generative Typology）。他曾发表五本研究专著和大量期刊文章，还出版了一本面向大众读者的著作（The Atoms of Language（2001））。此外，他还对研究人类心智感兴趣，包括非生物以及二元论方法的可能性研究。
Mark Baker is Distinguished Professor of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at Rutgers University in USA. He received his Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1985 from MIT. He taught at McGill University in Montreal for 12 years before moving to Rutgers in 1998. Prof. Baker specializes in the syntax and morphology of less-studied languages, particularly those of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. He seeks to bring together generative-style theories, data collected from fieldwork on diverse languages, and typological comparison in a way that illuminates all three–an approach sometimes called Formal Generative Typology. He has written five research monographs, numerous journal articles, and one book for a popular audience (The Atoms of Language (2001)). He is also interested in studying the human mind, including the possibility of nonbiological, dualistic approaches.
Julie Legate
Julie Legate, 美国宾夕法尼亚大学语言学系语言学教授。她的研究领域为句法理论，包括语言的句法，形态句法和句法语义界面，主要研究濒危的、未被充分研究的以及类型学上存在有趣现象的语言。她对语言习得也很感兴趣，尤其是被动结构、非人称构式及相关结构、格以及局域性等。
Julie Legate is a professor of linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania in USA. Her research is in syntactic theory, and the syntax, morphosyntax, and syntax-semantics of endangered, understudied, typologically interesting languages. She has secondary research interests in language acquisition. She is particularly interested in passives, impersonals, and related constructions; case; and locality domains.
Joseph Bayer
Joseph Bayer, 德国康斯坦茨大学语言学系教授。他的研究兴趣为句法理论、句法语义接口、句法形态接口、德语句法、词序、格、补足语、焦点算子和话语小品词，同时对方言和心理语言学也很感兴趣，包括语言理解、句法分析以及语言与大脑。
Joseph Bayer is a professor in the department of linguistics at the University of Konstanz in Germany. He is interested in syntactic theory, syntax-semantics interface, syntax-morphology interface, German(ic) syntax, word order, case, complementation, focus particles and discourse particles. He is also interested in dialects and psycholinguistics, including language comprehension, syntactic parsing and language and brain.

Case
格
此次会议主要围绕三个问题展开：
一、直接格由一致关系衍生还是来源于附属格算法？
二、如何解释作格配置和宾格配置？
三、形态格与句法格
Are direct cases a byproduct of Agree or do they derive from the algorithm of dependent case?
How do you account for ergative vs. accusative alignment?
Morphological case vs. Syntactic case

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.
