We aim to bring together researchers working on the semantics of clause-embedding predicates using a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches (e.g., fieldwork, experimental, computational), and to discuss new developments and open issues in the research area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall theme of the workshop is to address the following research question:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research question<\/strong>: Do the semantic properties of clause-embedding predicates determine, possibly in part, their subcategorization patterns? If so, how should this interaction between these semantic and combinatorial systems be modeled within a general theory of grammar?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clause types<\/strong>: selection of declarative and\/or interrogative complements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Syntactic size<\/strong>: selection of complements of various syntactic size, including non-finite complements (e.g., <em>{want, *think} them to leave<\/em>) and nominal complements (e.g., <em>{believe, *think} the story<\/em>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Main-clause syntax<\/strong>: selection of complements having syntactic characteristics normally associated with main clauses (e.g., V2 in Germanic languages, subject-auxiliary inversion in English, sentence-final particles in Japanese).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mood\/factivity marking<\/strong>: selection of complements involving mood marking (indicative\/subjunctive) in Romance languages and factivity-marking in Korean\/Japanese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The status of <strong>L-analycity<\/strong>, and how to obviate its effects.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semantic universals<\/strong> in the domain of clause-embedding predicates, and various methodologies to assess such universals (experimental, fieldwork and computational).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>aspectual properties<\/strong> of attitude reports (e.g., if they describe states, events, different kinds thereof), and possible interactions between these properties and other semantic and combinatorial properties of attitude predicates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Submission instructions<\/strong><br>We invite submissions of abstracts for 30\u201340 min talks (including Q&amp;A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The abstracts should be anonymous and the main text should be at most 2 pages (US Letter or A4) in length, with an optional third page for references, figures, or examples that require glosses.
