>The symposium will bring together linguists interested in all aspects
>of language that relate to the relationship between syntax and
>semantics (such as argument structure, other types of constructions,
>linking, the role of context and lexical items, cognitive issues,
>idioms etc.). The aim of the symposium is to discuss the analysis of
>linguistic data as well as theoretical issues.  The focus will be on
>linguistic phenomena rather than any particular descriptive
>formalism. Participants are strongly encouraged to give a paper on any
>aspect of the relation between syntax and semantics, as this is an
>excellent opportunity to get feedback from others working in this
>area.
