Bringing these diverse lines of inquiry closer together is a challenging\, yet fundamental\, goal for linguistic theory. In this workshop we propose to study the role(s) that competition and optimality may play in these domains. \nThe idea that the distribution of pronouns\, even some aspects of their interpretation\, may be governed by competition with a more optimal alternative\, is not new. However\, so far relatively little progress has been made towards a general theory of pronominal competitions and especially on the question of how the candidate set for comparison is determined. We propose to broaden the empirical domain of inquiry by considering pronominal competitions of various kinds\, and across languages: between pronouns and anaphors\, pronouns and gaps in A-bar dependencies\, pronouns and demonstratives\, overt vs. null pronouns\, pronouns and definite descriptions (in ‘Condition C’ effects) and so on. \nThe idea that competition plays a role in sentence processing has long been recognized and it is inherent in computational models of constraint satisfaction as well as in theories of encoding and retrieval from working memory. In the past decade especially\, the empirical breadth of sentence processing research on pronouns has increased dramatically. And interestingly there are many recent experiments on bound pronouns (primarily reflexives\, but also resumptives) that give evidence that initial interpretive processes can be selective and non-competitive. So an important goal of the workshop will be to consider whether or how notions of competition that can explain distributional facts about pronouns are related to mechanisms of sentence production and comprehension. We also hope that discussions which take place might guide future explorations of the territory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim McCloskey\, Ivy Sichel & Matt Wagers URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/linguistics-colloquium-pronouns-competition-workshop/ LOCATION:Humanities 1\, Room 210\, 1156 high st\, Santa cruz\, CA\, 95060\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Linguistics Department":MAILTO:mjzimmer@ucsc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180427T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180427T111500 DTSTAMP:20260427T080941 CREATED:20180425T223305Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180425T223421Z UID:10005495-1524823200-1524827700@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:2018 Graduate Student Alumni Career Paths Panel DESCRIPTION:  \nDistinguished graduate student alumni honorees serve as panelists to discuss their career paths from UCSC after receiving their graduate-level degrees to their positions of distinction.
