Organizers : Alina Tigău (University of Bucharest) and Klaus von Heusinger (University of Cologne).

Rationale and goals: This workshop represents a joint venture between the University of Bucharest and the University of Cologne and is one of the events unfolding within the framework of the research project Internal Arguments in Romance hosted by the University of Cologne since 2017 (http://idsl1.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/internal-arguments-in-romance.html).  Its aim is to bring to the fore recent theoretical and experimental research in syntax, semantics and pragmatics, with a focus on topics such as argument structure, the projection of internal (and external) arguments, the  syntax and semantics of Differential Object Marking (DOM),  accusative and dative pronominal clitics, Clitic Doubling (CD), incorporation and the status of arguments, case assignment a.o.

Some of the questions we would like to address would be the following:

1. How are internal arguments hierarchically projected?
2. How do they get their case assigned? Does case assignment depend on their DP/KP/NP type? Do the mechanisms of DOM or CD have a say in this respect?
3. Is there a correlation between the syntax and the semantics of  DP/KP/NP types?

We invite abstracts for 30 minute talks (with a10 minute discussion included).

Abstracts should be no longer than 2 pages in a font size no less than 12pt including examples and references. Abstracts should be anonymous, since double-blind review will be adopted: contact details (Author’s name and affiliation) and the title of the presentation should be included in the accompanying email.
