-- CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN LINGUISTICS: Conditional on the award of a
grant, a position as an assistant in a research project will be
available for three years: 1995-1998. The assistant will be assured
full-time employment during summers and part-time employment during
the academic years while taking courses.  The project involves the
study of a relatively simple language: Sango, an African-based pidgin
spoken in the Central African Republic. Extemporaneous speech has been
transcribed. Data will be entered into data bases for analysis.  The
assistant will have the opportunity to work toward an advanced degree
in Linguistics or some aspect of linguistics in French and will have
access to the project's data for course and conference papers The
study of the language involves language change; language contact; the
influence of French on grammar, phonology, and lexicon; linguistic
variation, etc.  The successful applicant must have been accepted into
the program of graduate studies in either the Department of
Linguistics or the Department of French at the University of Toronto.
Computer skills (but not in programming) are required. Applicants at
all levels of study are invited, including outstanding students with a
B.A. or who will be awarded it in 1995.  For further information
contact the principal investigator immediately.  Curricula vitae,
statements of interests and objectives, transcripts of academic
records, and letters of reference are invited.

-- The Research Institute for Language and Speech (OTS), Utrecht
University, organizes a Workshop on Optionality to be held on
September 1-2, 1995.  In the history of generative linguistics, there
has been a shift from construction-specific rules to general
principles.  In the minimalist framework of Chomsky (1993), movement
is argued to be a last resort operation: it may only take place if it
is triggered, that is, if movement is required to escape
ungrammaticality. This concept, which gradually took shape in the late
eighties (cf. Travis 1986), is referred to as "economy". Now, although
economy is conceptually attractive, it faces serious problems when
confronted with optional movements: by hypothesis, a movement is
blocked if it does not have to take place.  Optionality is widely
attested in natural language. One might even claim that there are
situations in which it is typical that two or more variants of a
construction coexist. In this workshop we would like to explore in
what ways the problem of optionality can be approached.  One would
like to have a theory that predicts which types of optionality may be
expected in natural language. We would therefore like to invite papers
that deal with the theoretical problem of optionality. Papers may
focus on optionality in the steady state or on optionality in
situations of language acquisition and language change.  In addition
to 4 (invited) keynote talks, we have 12 slots for 35 min.  papers.
Please send 5 copies of an anonymous two-page abstract, one
camera-ready version and a 3x5" card with name(s) of author(s), title
of paper, affiliation, phone number and e-mail address to

-- The University of Leiden will host the 28th Annual Meeting of the
Societas Linguistica Europaea, which will be held from Thursday 31
August to Saturday 2 September 1995. The programme will feature five
workshops, one of which will focus on the following topic: 'The Syntax
of Possession and the Verb Have.'  WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: The syntactic
representation of possession varies considerably from one language to
another. Thus, in Latin and Romance possession can be expressed with
the aid of copular constructions featuring a dative-marked possessor
(Mihi liber est `to-me the book is') or with a possessive have
construction (Habeo librum `(I) have the-book'). In a language like
Dutch, while dative- marked possessors are rare (e.g. De beurt is aan
mij `the turn is to me'), the have construction alternates with a
prepositional construction in which the possessor is preceded by the
same preposition that also marks complements of nouns and NP-contained
possessors, van `of' (Het boek is van mij `the book is of me'). Other
ways of marking possession also exist; not all languages dis- play
possessive alternations of the type exhibited by the Romance languages
or Dutch.  The ways of expressing possession (also in triadic
constructions with matrix verbs like give -- see the debate on the
proper analysis of the dative alternation) and the question of how to
analyse the possessive verb have have recently attracted a great deal
of attention in generative syntax. Kayne, Gueron, Hoekstra and Den
Dikken, among others, have presented accounts which all in one way or
another incorporate the view that the verb have should be denied
primitive status -- to mention one plausible approach, have can be
looked upon as the surface spell-out of a head (presumably a
functional head) that has incorporated a prepositional head (the
dative marker, for instance).  The purpose of this workshop is to
probe the decompositional approach to have and whatever other elements
like it that might exist, to try and determine the basic structure (or
structures) underlying possessive construc- tions, and to thereby
attempt a synthesis of the various approaches -- similar in spirit but
diverging in detail -- to the syntax of possession.  SUBMISSIONS: Five
copies of one-page ABSTRACTS for 20-minute papers (plus 10 minutes of
discussion) to be presented at this workshop should be sent to the
workshop organiser, at the address given below (from which further
information can also be obtained). Abstracts should have reached this
address by 28 February 1995.  Submissions by E-mail are accepted
