XTAG meeting, Thursday, May 17, 10:30-12




Topic for this week: Relative Clauses (RCs)

Chung-hye will present a flat semantics analysis of adjunct relative
clauses (e.g., "The place in which John lives is a dump"/ "The place
where John lives is a dump"), extending her earlier analysis of argument
RCs.

Tonia will show how Chung-hye's analysis of RCs (in general) can be used
to account for extraposed relatives as well (e.g., "A problem arose which
was difficult").


PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A CHANGE IN ** NEXT WEEK'S ** MEETING:
Instead of meeting on Thursday, May 24th, we will meet on Tuesday, May
22nd, from 3:30 to 5.

This week's meeting is at the normal time and place.
