The talks will outline what the interns accomplished and what they learned during the summer. Possibilities for future internship projects will be discussed, so students with an interest in internships next summer should plan to attend. No abstract available.

I argue that these claims are false and try to show why their rejection is important. After discussing these, and other, shortcomings of the verb-Incorporation approaches to causatives, I shall outline an alternative theory constrained by the basic assumptions that morphological words cannot be formed in the syntax and that the grammatical functions of arguments cannot change in the course of a derivation. In addition, it will explain certain facts that would be totally mysterious for a purely phrase-structural approach such as the Incorporation analyses. No abstract available. Hiroshi Kaneko is mainly interested in the philosophy of logic and mathematics, especially in intuitionism and intuitionistic type theory.
