From M.Norde at rug.nl Wed Apr 1 08:47:51 2009 From: M.Norde at rug.nl (Muriel Norde) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 10:47:51 +0200 Subject: grammaticalization in Groningen 2nd CfP Message-ID: ***apologies for cross-posting*** *Current Trends in Grammaticalization Research* University of Groningen, October 8-9, 2009 */Second Call for papers/*** The study of grammaticalization and related phenomena continues to be a thriving branch of historical linguistics. Where the 1990s and the beginning of the 21^st century witnessed a special interest in definitional issues, recent theorizing has been focusing on a synthesis of grammaticalization studies and other disciplines, such as psycholinguistics, contact linguistics, and Construction Grammar. These novel perspectives, based on an increasing body of data (including work from non-Indo-European languages), provoke new and interesting questions about the very nature of grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and lexicalization. This two-day workshop aims to bring together theoretical and empirical approaches to grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and lexicalization, and we therefore welcome both theoretical and data-oriented submissions. Topics include (but are not restricted to): * the grammaticalization-lexicalization interface * the status of pragmaticalization * contact-induced grammaticalization * psycholinguistic approaches to directional tendencies * grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and lexicalization within a constructional framework * grammaticalization and morphological theory * grammaticalization and syntactic theory /Plenary speakers/ We are pleased to announce the following plenary speakers: * Hans-Olav Enger, University of Oslo * Nikolaus Himmelmann, University of Münster * Graeme Trousdale, University of Edinburgh * Jacqueline Visconti, University of Genova /Abstracts/ We invite abstracts for 30-minute papers (including ten minutes discussion time). Abstracts should not exceed a maximum of 400 words, including references. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is *April 15, 2009*. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by May 15, 2009. Abstracts can only be submitted through the /Easy Abstracts/ facility at Linguist List at http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/CTGR2009. You can upload your abstract as either .doc or .pdf. Please use the latter format if your abstract contains special fonts. /Registration/ Early registration (until July 1, 2009) is 75 Euro. Late or on-site registration will be 100 Euro. Early registration for (graduate) students is 45 euro, late registration 60 euro. Please bring some kind of identification to prove that you are a student. The fee includes the workshop package, reception, coffee, tea, and lunches. The workshop dinner will have to be paid for separately. More information about payment (bank transfer only) will be posted on our website as soon as possible. /Venue/ The workshop will be held at the University of Groningen. The city of Groningen is situated in the North of the Netherlands and is easily accessible by train (with direct trains to and from Schiphol Airport running every hour). The University's Faculty of Arts is conveniently located in the city centre, with all main attractions within walking distance.
