The Grammar of Raising and Control

在国家科学基金会的支持下，斯坦利·杜宾斯基博士和威廉·戴维斯博士将于2005年1月组织一个与美国语言学会年会有关的学术小组，并于2005年7月在LSA夏季研究所举办一个为期两天的讲习班。 这些会议的主题是分析两种语法结构，称为提高和控制，这是过去40年来语言学理论发展的核心。2005年1月的小组将召集主要研究人员，以便阐明2005年7月讲习班将讨论的一套共同的研究问题。将要求讲习班参加者重点关注新的经验数据，特别是来自研究不足的语言的数据。研讨会的参与者将从理论语言学家和语言学家中寻找，他们的研究兴趣在于语言习得，历史语言学，社会语言学和语言变异以及神经语言学的跨学科领域。为了广泛提供小组讨论会的记录，将在项目网站上提供1月份小组讨论会的数字录音，沿着文字记录。该网站还将提供讲习班方案和摘要，并将为与会者提供向公众提供其研究草稿的机会。 小组和讲习班的部分论文将出版成书。

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Stanley Dubinsky and Dr. William Davies will organize a scholarly panel in connection with the Linguistic Society of America's annual meeting in January, 2005, and a two-day workshop to be held at the LSA Summer Institute in July, 2005. The topic of these meetings is the analysis of two grammatical constructions, called Raising and Control, which have been central to the development of linguistic theory over the past 40 years. The January 2005 panel will gather leading researchers in order to articulate a common set of research questions to be addressed in the July 2005 workshop. Workshop participants will be asked to focus on new empirical data, especially from understudied languages. Workshop participants will be sought from both theoretical linguists and linguists whose research interests lie in the interdisciplinary areas of language acquisition, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and language variation, and neurolinguistics. In order to make the proceedings of the panel widely available, a digital recording of the January panel will be made accessible on the project's website, along with a textual transcript. The website will also provide access to the workshop program and abstracts, and will provide the opportunity for participants to make drafts of their research available to the public. Selected papers from the panel and workshop will be published as a book.
