"Binding conditions: How are they derived?"
by Eric Reuland (Utrecht institute of Linguistics OTS) et al.
St. Petersburg State University, April 24-28, 2007.
This course is a part of the Utrecht - St. Petersburg collaboration.
Course description:
Considerable effort has been spent over the last decades to describe the nature of binding relations, and to understand the extent of cross-linguistic variation. Binding conditions A and B of the canonical binding theory are surprisingly good approximations, but appear to face many exceptions and irregularities. In a nutshell: they are too good to be false, but too bad to be true. This course focuses on the cross-linguistic perspective and explores how binding conditions reflect the fine structure of the grammar.
