POSTERDynamic antisymmetry and a theory of Tagalog scrambling (Philip Jade Gazil)
The poster proposes a theory of scrambling in Tagalog based on dynamic antisymmetry. It postulates that D/NP arguments marked by ang and ng are both complex units standing symmetrical to each other. This symmetry results in an unordered set R(y, x)->R(x, y) which represents the ways the arguments can be ordered.

POSTERUnderstanding the classifier-plural-article trio: a Vietnamese perspective (Trang Phan)
Vietnamese has some characteristics that are relatively rare in generalized classifier languages (a.) It possesses a significant number of nouns which can directly combine with numerals without the mediation of classifiers in the context of counting; (b.) It has developed two highly productive plural markers những and các (c.) It has also developed a distinctive behavior for the numeral một (‘one’) which sets it aside from that of other numerals. In this poster, we propose that such unusual properties of Vietnamese can be accounted for in a principled way, on the basis of a type-driven parametric approach.

POSTERAdverbials: Uniformly postverbal in Southeast Asian languages? (Tsan Tsai Chan)
This contribution explores whether the head-modifier order shown by adjectivally modified noun phrases in many mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) languages applies to adverbials as well. Using judgement data from 11 language varieties spoken in and around the MSEA area, it demonstrates that adverbials are not uniformly postverbal.
