###  Ana-Log Workshop at Harvard

 Harvard will be hosting the Ana-Log workshop about anaphoricity and logophoricity this weekend (Saturday, September 22 and Sunday, September 23) from about 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, in Boylston 105. This workshop is organized by [Isabelle Charnavel](/people/isabelle-charnavel) (Harvard Universty) and [Dominique Sportiche](https://linguistics.ucla.edu/person/dominique-sportiche/) (UCLA). This workshop is generously supported by the National Science Foundation (grants #1424054 and #1424336).

 The workshop focuses on anaphoricity/logophoricity/exempt anaphora. The general questions being pursued are:

\- what is the catalog of possible behaviors for such expressions (mandatory local binding, mandatory binding, perspective orientation, etc...)?  
\- what are the constraints on their distribution (e.g. condition A or logophoricity) and why do we find these constraints rather than other a priori conceivable options?  
\- what is the relation between the internal properties of such expressions and their distribution and interpretation?  
\- are there connections between the behavior of such expressions and other linguistic phenomena that suggest more abstract unifications than currently assumed?
