How categorical are categories?
This international workshop is organized by the Research Group TRAIT working at the Center for General and Comparative Linguistics at the University of Wroclaw. It will be held at the University of Wroclaw, from 7th-9th of January 2013.
Leitmotiv
How categorical are the traditional distinctions between grammatical categories and how categorical is their semantics? New theoretical and experimental approaches to old problems.
General issue
The workshop is intended to bring together formal and experimental linguists and thus provide a forum for discussion about the nature of linguistic diversity in syntax and semantics of various grammatical categories, with special focus on Tense, Aspect and Modality.
