Proceedings of a conference on Formal Linguistics.

Most of the papers presented at the 1990 West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics are included in this volume. This annual publication, not readily available in the past, makes the latest research in formal linguistics available to a wider audience. Aaron Halpern is a graduate student in linguistics at Stanford University.

These conference proceedings examine various aspects of formal linguistics. Individual topics covered include: sequences of tense, intentionality and scope; empty consonants and direct prosody; syllable weight and quantity in Dutch; finite control on modern Persian; and copular sentences.

WCCFL 23: Proceedings of the 23rd West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics contains 60 papers presented at the April 2004 conference at UC Davis. The papers focus on phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and language development. The proceedings is available in paperback and library binding.
