Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop

美国国家科学基金会将支持第19届年度比较日耳曼语研讨会（CGSW），该研讨会将于2004年6月3日至5日由纽约研究生中心主办。CGSW是一个重要的国际会议，被广泛认为是世界上研究日耳曼语言句法（句子结构）的生成语言学家的首要场所，自1984年以来每年举办一次。今年的版本将特别关注荷兰语和英语方言的变化，汉斯·本尼斯教授和艾莉森亨利教授将发表主题演讲。荷兰皇家科学院P. J. Meertens研究所所长Bennis教授将特别报告最近完成的荷兰方言句法地图集第一卷，这是比较日耳曼句法的一个重要里程碑。教授亨利，在英语句法变异的国际知名专家，将报告标准英语及其方言之间的差异正在进行的研究，特别是侧重于贝尔法斯特英语。除了两个主题演讲，该计划还包括由来自六个欧洲国家和美国的语言学家通过同行评审过程选出的十六篇论文。完整的程序以及其他重要信息的事件是在线访问：http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/lingu/events/CGSW19/index.html.In当前的理论研究，研究比较不同语言的语言现象在建立和完善的理论机制发挥了关键作用。在特定语系范围内进行的比较语言学研究已被证明特别有助于回答有关普遍原则和语言特定参数（即，不同语言之间的差异）。比较日耳曼语族研究工作坊是传播日耳曼语族内部句法变异以及日耳曼语族与其他语言之间变异的研究成果的主要论坛。CGSW 19的课程包括对斯堪的纳维亚语言，荷兰语和德语及其方言，英语句法变异的比较研究（包括历时变化），日耳曼语和其他语言之间的差异（如孟加拉语、法语和希腊语），以及日耳曼语言的习得，（第一或第二语言）学习者-一个国家的最先进的调色板正在进行的研究句法变化内外的日耳曼语系，进一步发展生成句法理论。

The National Science Foundation will support the 19th annual Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop (CGSW), to be hosted by The Graduate Center of The City University of New York on June 3-5, 2004. CGSW is a major international conference, widely recognized as the world's premier venue for generative linguists studying the syntax (sentence structure) of the Germanic languages, organized on an annual basis since 1984. This year's edition will feature a special focus on variation across Dutch and English dialects, with keynote addresses by Professors Hans Bennis and Alison Henry. Professor Bennis, the director of the P.J. Meertens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, will report specifically on the recent completion of the first volume of the syntactic atlas of the dialects of Dutch, a major milestone in comparative Germanic syntax. Professor Henry, an internationally renowned specialist on syntactic variation in English, will report on ongoing research on the differences between standard English and its dialects, focusing particularly on Belfast English. Alongside the two keynote addresses, the program includes sixteen papers selected by a peer-review process, presented by linguists from six European countries and the United States. The complete program as well as other important information about the event is accessible on-line at: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/lingu/events/CGSW19/index.html.In current theoretical research, studies that compare the linguistic phenomena of different languages play a pivotal role in establishing and refining the theoretical machinery. Comparative linguistic research conducted within the confines of a particular language family has proved particularly conducive to answering detailed questions about the universal principles and language-particular parameters (i.e., points where languages differ from each other). The Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop is the primary forum for the dissemination of research results in the domain of syntactic variation within the Germanic language family, as well as variation between the Germanic languages and other languages. The program of CGSW19 features comparative studies on the Scandinavian languages, Dutch and German and their dialects, syntactic variation in English (including diachronic variation), differences between Germanic and other languages (such as Bangla, French and Greek), as well as the acquisition of the Germanic languages by (first or second language) learners - a state-of-the-art palette of ongoing research on syntactic variation within and beyond the Germanic language family, furthering the development of generative syntactic theory.
