Linguistic Sub-field: General Linguistics
Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2003
Meeting Description:
Dative and similar cases - workshop held during the Annual Meeting of the
German Society of Linguistics (DGfS) 2004 in Mainz (Germany), February
25-26
Second call / Final call:
We invite abstracts for presentations at a short workshop held during the
Annual Meeting of the German Society of Linguistics (DGfS) 2004 in Mainz,
February 25-26.
There are eight slots of 30 (20+10) minutes to be filled, supplemented by
a one-hour discussion group on the following day. We welcome
submissions for presentations in German or English.
Workshop description:
A lot of research has been devoted to determining the syntax and
semantics of indirect objects in German and other languages. Despite
these efforts, no consensus has been reached in key areas of
analysis. On the syntactic side, the following matters are controversial:
dative nominals as arguments or adjuncts, the dative as a structural
case, the array of unmarked word order patterns found with datives, the
similarity of dative nominals with prepositional phrases, quirky
case/inverse linking, or binding phenomena involving dative nominals. The
semantic analysis of dative nominals typically struggles with the
following problems: dative nominals as linking to a
single thematic role vs. dative nominals as instantiating many different
thematic roles, dative nominals as linking to the main eventuality as
opposed to a secondary eventuality. While these
phenomena are diverse, there is a certain degree of cohesion in the
literature: Many researchers are aware of several of the above-mentioned
issues and aim at an overarching analysis. Another area in which datives
likewise figure prominently is typically treated in a very different
tradition: The discussion of so-called possessor raising, external
possession and extra argumentality has often detached itself from the
above topics. One reason for this lies in the difference among frameworks
and their pet issues: Chomskyan Generativism vs. approaches in the
tradition of Relational Grammar vs. (functional) typology. Another reason
is provided by the fact that, from the typological point of view of
external possession, datives are just one kind of structural realization
of a more general phenomenon.
The workshop strives to bring together linguists of diverse theoretical
persuasions to assemble a state-of-the-art picture of research into
datives, into similar morphological cases, and into
phenomena that are semantically or functionally similar while displaying
a divergent constructional make-up (e.g., applicatives). The organizers
aim at a balanced representation of theoretical papers on the one side,
and of submissions concentrating on empirical generalizations and/or
cross-linguistic coverage.
