Workshop About the interaction of structure and sound

The workshop aims to make theoretical advances in research on the syntax-prosody interface, that is, the point of interaction between sentence structure (syntax) and sound (phonology). We want to give the floor to various (theoretical) approaches to the syntax-prosody interface, in order to discuss different ways of modeling the relationship, the matches and mismatches between syntactic and prosodic (constituent) structure. This may include – but is certainly not limited to – looking at the mechanics of ellipsis to shed light on the nature and the workings of the interface. As such, the goal of this workshop is to discuss and challenge deeply entrenched ideas. The ultimate goal is to deepen our understanding of the architecture of the grammar: how are individual modules of the grammar organized internally, and how do they interact with each other?
