Abstract:
This issue of <em>Linguistics in Potsdam</em> contains a
number of papers that grew out of the workshop <em>Descriptive
and Empirical Adequacy in Linguistics</em> held in Berlin
on December 17-19 December, 2005. One of the goals of this
meeting
was to bring together scholars working in various frameworks
(with emphasis on the Minimalist Program and Optimality
Theory) and to discuss matters concerning descriptive and
empirical adequacy. Another explicit goal was to discuss
the question whether Minimalism and Optimality Theory should
be considered incompatible and, hence, competing theories,
or whether the two frameworks should rather be considered
complementary in certain respects (see http://let.uvt.nl/deal05/c
all.html for the call for papers). Five of the seven papers
in this volume directly grew out of the oral presentations
given at the workshop.<BR>
