Empirical Issues in Syntax and Semantics 9 (EISS 9 ... - CSSP - CNRS

Preface
The ninth volume of the series Empirical Issues in Syntax and Semantics (EISS), like the
preceding eight volumes of the series, is closely connected to the conference series Colloque de
Syntaxe et Sémantique à Paris (CSSP). All of the 13 papers included in the present volume are
based on abstracts that were accepted (in two cases, invited) for CSSP 2011, which took place on
21–23 September 2011 at Université Paris 8 (http://www.cssp.cnrs.fr/cssp2011/
index_en.html). As a condition for inclusion in the volume, authors were asked to not
publish their papers in other conference proceedings concurrently.
I take this opportunity to thank the reviewers, whose comments helped the authors to improve
their papers, often substantially. With their permission, the reviewers were (in alphabetical
order):
Anne Abeillé, Márta Abrusán, Claire Beyssade, Patricia Cabredo Hofherr, Jens
Fleischhauer, Brenda Laca, Jan Lindschouw, Alda Mari, Louise McNally, Kathleen
O’Connor, Dafina Rațiu, Martin Schäfer, Richard Zuber
I would also like to thank both the scientific committee and the organizing committee of
CSSP 2011 (http://www.cssp.cnrs.fr/cssp2011/contact/index_en.html)
for their efforts in planning and organizing a memorable conference.
Finally, I thank the previous editors of EISS, Olivier Bonami and Patricia Cabredo Hoffherr,
who together edited the previous four volumes (5–8) of EISS, for their notable editorial work
over an extended period of time.
