March 13 (13:00-15:30) Lecture 1: Allocutive Agreement and the Root I will take up agreements that agree with a discourse participant – hearer or speaker. A typical case is found in the Souletin dialect of Basque, in which, along with the regular agreement with the subject and other arguments, there is an agreement that agrees with the addressee, such as feminine, singular, colloquial. This is called allocutive agreement. I show that the allocutive agreement requires the performative analysis as earlier proposed by Ross (1970) and recently updated by Speas and Tenny (2003) as “Speech Act Projection.” I will show that the distribution of the SAP exactly matches the definition of “root” that Emonds (1969) proposed. I will give other examples of the allocutive agreement, including the politeness marker -mas- in Japanese and speaker/hearer agreements in the Tibeto-Burman languages, Jingpo and Newari. March 13 (16:00-18:30) Lecture 2: Topicalization Across Languages Topicalization is an operation that typically places a phrase at the left-edge of an expression. Developing a proposal for topics in Chomsky (1977), and using Frascarelli and Hinterhol’s (2007) categorization of topics, I will show that across languages, there are topics (Aboutness topic) that uniformly occur in the topic position above CP (S”) as argued by Chomsky while other topic types (Contrastive, Familiar) vary in their position depending on the language. In some languages these topics occur in the same position as the Aboutness topic, above CP, while in others they may occur in TP. This variation in the position of the topic is unexpected in the cartographic approach, which postulates topic positions that are presumably uniform across languages. I will also show the relevancy of the work here to Emonds’s (1969) original proposal for roots, and Hooper and Thompson’s (1973) challenge to Emonds’s proposal, and the recent extension of Hooper and Thompson’s work by Haegeman (2010, 2012). March 14 (13:00-15:30) Lecture 3: Pro-drop, E-type Pronouns, and Agreement Pro-drop is one of the most extensively studied topics in the GB era; these studies typically assumed that the empty element is some form of a pronoun as suggested by the name of the phenomenon. Huang (1991) and Otani and Whitman (1991) identified pro that can have a sloppy interpretation, something that isn’t expected if the empty element is a common pronoun. Huang, and Otani and Whitman, argued that the sloppy interpretation is made possible by VP ellipsis, not pro-drop. Oku (1998), while agreeing that it is not a pro, argued that what is being elided is a fully-specified noun phrase. This has come to be called argument ellipsis, and it is the dominant proposal for the source of the sloppy interpretation. Using Oikonomou’s (to appear) approach, I will argue that the sloppy interpretation is an instance of E-type pronoun, in turn returning us to the original idea that the empty slots are due to pro-drop. I will also look in detail at different manifestations of the pro. In Japanese and Romance, the pro easily finds reference in the discourse context, and the referent is not limited to any grammatical category. In Chinese, the subject pro cannot easily refer “out” to the conversation, and within the sentence, it is limited to the closest subject for its antecedent. I will argue that the difference between Japanese/Romance and Chinese is a difference between strong and weak pronouns. March 14 (16:00-18:30) Lecture 4: The Distribution and Structure of ‘Why’ There are two approaches to ‘why’, the movement analysis and the externally merge analysis, the latter originally due to Bromberger (1987, 1992) and Rizzi (1990), later extended in important ways by Ko (2005), Stephanov and Tsai (2008), among others. There are two questions I will address. First, while many languages appear to have both options for ‘why’, Japanese (and possibly Korean) does not appear to have the externally merged option. I will argue that this difference is due to where the focus feature occurs in a language. Second, while many wh-in-situ languages manifest an intervention effect, ‘why’ overcomes intervention. This has been reported in Japanese and Korean. I will argue that the “anti-intervention” effect arises from the general structure of ‘why’, which I will propose by extending proposals in Beck (1996) and Shlonsky and Soare (2011). Within this general proposal for the structure of ‘why’, I will use an insight by Ko (2005) to distinguish those languages that have the anti-intervention effect (Japanese, Korean) from those that do not (Chinese). —————– 同時にご案内 こちらのほうもぜひ。 進化における言語の外在化 Evolution and the Externalization of Language 講師：宮川 繁氏（MIT教授、東京大学大学総合教育研究センター特任教授） 日時：2017年3月12日（日）13:00-18:00 会場：慶應義塾大学三田キャンパス 北館３階 大会議室 参加費無料 申込不要（使用言語：日本語・英語） | |

| Time & Date: 12:30-13:30, Feb 22nd Place : Room 113, Building #3, Komaba 1 Campus Speaker: Daisuke Shimaoka Title: New approaches to understanding body-based communication in the dorsal stream The spontaneous activity of the brain is thought to be a souce of behavioral variability, and has certain network structure across brain regions, known as default-mode network. Is this structure fully determined by anatomical connectivity or modulated by the brain state? We monitored spontaneous membrane potential of genetically-identified neural populations under anesthetized and awake behaving conditions from both cerebral hemispheres of transgenic mice expressing a Genetically-Encoded Voltage Indicator. From deep anesthesia till awakening, a conserved repertoire of distinct slow wave motifs was observed across cortical areas. Toward awakening, the incidence of individual motifs changed systematically and both local circuit dynamics and interaction between remote cortical areas accelerated. During awake when mice freely locomote, locomotion depolarized visual and auditory cortex, while markedly hyperpolarizing barrel cortex. These findings highlight that functional endogenous interactions between distant cortical areas can also be modulated by the brain state. Finally, preliminary results during mice performing a visual detection task will be discussed. | |

| Time & Date: 5PM, Oct 25th Place : Room 113, Building #3, Komaba 1 Campus Title: New approaches to understanding body-based communication in the dorsal stream Emotions and the Body discusses the neural basis and temporal processing signatures of emotional body language by drawing on state- of-the-art research in the neuropsychology of emotional face and body disorders. Beatrice de Gelder explores a range of fascinating questions such as: How do facial and bodily expressions interact? What role does emotional body language play in social interaction? If body language is perceived even with limited attention and reduced visual awareness, as studies with patients have shown, then what is the nature of emotional experience, and how is awareness affected? Are some cultures less expressive in their body language? And are there notable gender and cultural differences in emotional body language, as is the case for facial expressions? Research on emotional body language shows that emotions are tools for adaptive action, and that they allow us to predict interactions with real, imagined, and virtual others. These data prompt de Gelder to consider virtual bodies as well as physical ones, including avatars and robots. The wide-ranging implications of her study will appeal especially to scholars and students of cognitive neuroscience, but also to those working in such related fields as information and communication technology, computer science, animation, and robotics. | |
| テーマ：Risk and resilience after childhood maltreatment – neurobiological models of the impact of early adversity on child development 日時：2016年9月15日 16:00- 場所：駒場キャンパス ３号館 １１３室 | |
| Speaker: Dr. Vanessa Puets, Department of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London https://drrulab.wordpress.com/people/ Title: Risk and resilience after childhood maltreatment – neurobiological models of the impact of early adversity on child development Childhood maltreatment, including neglect, is associated with a wide range of maladaptive outcomes for mental and physical health as well as social. Childhood maltreatment has been associated with a neural sensitivity to facial cues signalling threat and social cues signalling rejection. However, little is known about how maltreatment influences the processing of social threat cues more broadly, and whether atypical processing of social threat cues relates to psychiatric risk. According to the theory of latent vulnerability, childhood maltreatment calibrates and sensitizes a number of neurocognitive systems in line with early at-risk environments, with potentially adaptive benefits in the short term but with longer-term costs. The atypical processing of social threat potentially constitutes a candidate mechanism indexing latent vulnerability to future psychopathology in general and PTSD in particular. I will discuss several strands of neurobiological research (fMRI / sMRI / DTI) investigating these stress-susceptible systems in children with a documented maltreatment experience. | |

| Workshop on Evo-Devo of Vocal Learning and Plasticity July 31st (Sun) | |
| Venue： Komcee-East B1F K011, Komaba, The University of Tokyo Time： 1:10 – 5:30PM Human speech depends on our ability for vocal learning. Vocal learning evolved independently in humans, birds, whales, bats, and elephants. How this trait evolved? What is the relationship between vocal development and vocal learning? What are common neural and molecular features? In this symposium, we gather specialists in this field and discuss Evo-Devo of vocal learning and plasticity.
