Workshop Focus

This workshop explores two questions, one more empirical, one more theoretical. One: is there just one canonical way to achieve predication and if so what is it or, alternatively, what are the non-canonical forms of? Two: what are the larger implications, for linguistic theory and for philosophy of language, of the correct answer to the first question?
