The Tuesday session will be an open discussion, with the theme "Fox-Pesetsky on trial": This session will be based on the papers on cyclic linearization by David Pesetsky and Danny Fox, and the replies to them by Nilsen, Svenonius, Holmberg, and others published in Theoretical Linguistics. Most of the relevant papers can be downloaded from Pesetsky's and Fox's websites:
