Special session: Linguistics at the interfaces
The design of the grammar is standardly assumed to be complex, involving components such as phon
etics, phonology, syntax, and semantics. The initial view that components of the grammar are aut
onomous has proven to be overly strong, and more and more cases of interfaces among components h
ave been documented. This in turn opens questions about the extent and nature of such interfaces
: is there a line between interacting components and components without borders? We invite abstr
acts that explore empirical as well as theoretical aspects of the interfaces among two or more c
omponents of the grammar, and formal tools that capture such interfaces.
