Overview

The theme of the workshop is in line with fundamental domains of linguistics: formal syntax and semantics. The major goal of the workshop is to welcome communications by students from different backgrounds, selected on the basis of evaluated abstracts, and whose research is linked to one (or both) of these fundamental linguistic domains.

More specifically, the goal of this workshop is to give a chance for students from different universities to meet and present their work. Moreover, this event provides the opportunity to get used to the exercise of abstract submission and oral communication in English, and aims also to develop the ability to express constructive criticism.

The goal of the 4^th Student Workshop in Syntax & Semantics (WoSS'06) is twofold:

2. to give the students an opportunity to get used to oral communications in English.

Abstracts must be at most two pages long, examples and references included, on an A4 sheet with one-inch (2.54 cm) margins and 12-point Times font. Abstracts must be anonymous. Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author, or two joint abstracts per author.
