Final Call for Abstracts<br>
Workshop on Applicatives in "Indonesian-Type" Languages<o:p></o:p><br>
Procida, Naples, Italy, 16 June 2014<br>
<br>
*****<br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
One of the proposed characteristics of "Indonesian-Type" languages
is the presence of an applicative marker, most commonly a suffix,
whose functional load corresponds in large part to that of some of
the voice affixes of "Philippine-Type" languages.<o:p></o:p><br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
We are currently developing a project in which we propose to examine
the forms, functions and diachronic development of applicative
constructions in Indonesian-Type languages, with a focus on patterns
of micro-variation in varieties of Malayic and Javanese.<span

<br>
As part of the above project, we plan to hold a one-day workshop
involving paper presentations and panel discussions on the topic of
applicatives in Indonesian-Type languages.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>A majority of the paper slots will be filled by
project participants; however, we would also like to make a few
slots available to other scholars who might be interested in
presenting a paper at the workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span><o:p></o:p><br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
Papers should be concerned with "Indonesian-Type" languages, and may
either deal with a single language or adopt a comparative
perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Topics may
include, but are not limited to ...<o:p></o:p><br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
• the forms and functions of applicative constructions<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
• patterns of syncretism involving applicatives and other
constructions, such as causatives, allatives, futures, and so forth<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
• the diachrony of applicative constructions:<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>etymologies and paths of
grammaticalization<o:p></o:p><br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
Persons wishing to present a paper at the workshop are invited to
submit a one-page abstract, preferably in pdf format (but MsWord
also acceptable) to David Gil <gil AT eve.mpg.de><br>
<br>
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 March 2014.<o:p></o:p><br>
<o:p></o:p><br>
The Workshop on Applicatives in "Indonesian-Type" languages will be
held immediately following the 18th International Symposium on
Malay/Indonesian Linguistics (ISMIL18), also in Procida, on the
13-15 June 2014<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Since these
are separate events, prospective participants are welcome to submit
different papers to each event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p><br>
