ABSTRACT A two day conference on phrase structure will be held at the beginning of July 1989 in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America Summer Institute, to be hosted by the University of Arizona, Tucson. The aim of the conference is to explore the view that rules governing phrase structure are not stipulatory but are generalizations, derived from underlying principles. The conference will bring together people who have been working in this area, and will provide a forum for the interchange of ideas which should result in a clearer understanding of the issues and a focussing of research. Particular attention will be devoted to questions about the nature of categorial structure, and cross-categorial generaliza- tions and differentiations, and to those properties of phrase structure which appear not to be projections of the thematic properties of heads. Exploration of this topic will contribute toward understanding the degree to which rules governing prhase structure can be considered an autonomous component in the mod- ular theory of syntax, as well as toward an understanding of the rule system itself. An edited collection of papers resulting from the conference will be published. The conference focuses on a related set of questions which are at the heart of linguistic theory, dealing with the funda- mental organization of grammatical systems. The participants in the conference are leading theoreticians who have been working recently on the topics to be discussed. The conference can be expected to provide valuable direction to their work, and also make a substantive contribution to the field in the publication of the conference papers.

摘要 为期两天的短语结构会议将于 1989 年 7 月初与美国语言学会夏季学院联合举行，由图森亚利桑那大学主办。 会议的目的是探讨这样一种观点，即管理短语结构的规则不是规定性的，而是从基本原则中得出的概括。 会议将汇集该领域的工作人员，并将提供一个交流思想的论坛，从而使人们更清楚地了解问题并集中研究重点。 我们将特别关注有关范畴结构的本质、跨范畴的概括和区分的问题，以及短语结构的那些似乎不是中心词主题属性预测的属性。 对这个主题的探索将有助于理解控制短语结构的规则在多大程度上可以被视为语法模块化理论中的自主组成部分，以及对规则系统本身的理解。 会议的编辑论文集将出版。 会议重点讨论一系列相关问题，这些问题是语言理论的核心，涉及语法系统的基本组织。 会议的参与者都是最近致力于讨论主题的领先理论家。 预计会议将为他们的工作提供有价值的指导，并在会议论文的发表方面对该领域做出实质性贡献。
