[Corpora-List] Call for participation: ICAME 35 pre-conference workshop "Perfect and perfectivity re-assessed through corpus studies"

[Valentin Werner]

Call for participation

*ICAME 35 pre-conference workshop "Perfect and perfectivity re-assessed 
through corpus studies", 30 April 2014, Nottingham*

*Convenors*: *
Elena Seoane* (University of Vigo), *Cristina Suárez-Gómez
*(University of the Balearic Islands), *Valentin Werner* (University of 
Bamberg)

*Short description*:
Recent corpus analyses have shown that grammatical variation in the 
realm of the present perfect in English is far more pervasive than has 
been assumed. This is particularly true when non-native and learner 
Englishes are taken into account. This workshop is open to synchronic, 
diachronic and contrastive corpus-based research.

We especially welcome contributions which go beyond the traditional 
ascription of the perfect to the construction /have /+ past participle 
for the expression of perfect meaning and observe variation determined 
by sociolinguistic variables such as mode, dialect, style, register, 
genre as well as by the individual interpretation of what the 'perfect 
time span' means. We also want to motivate participants to foster 
discussion about how these new findings from data analyses help to shed 
light on theoretical issues.
