From W.Schulze at lrz.uni-muenchen.de Mon Apr 5 10:43:22 2010 From: W.Schulze at lrz.uni-muenchen.de (Wolfgang Schulze) Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2010 12:43:22 +0200 Subject: grammaticalization of antipassives Message-ID: Dear friends and colleagues please allow me making a perhaps somewhat unusual post. But maybe you can help me or give me some advise. I have produced an admittedly lengthy paper on "the grammaticalization of antipassives" in terms of split aspects systems, dealing mainly with Sumerian, Kartvelian, and Proto-Indo-European, but including data from other languages, too. You can download the first draft (attention: not yet proof-read by a native speaker of English!) from http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~wschulze/antipass.pdf . My problem is that I really don't know what to do with this paper. It is too long for submission to a journal (96 pages), and too short for producing a (slender and modest) monograph. Any suggestions (if ever you can imagine that the contents are of relevance for our community)? In addition, I would be happy to receive critics and other comments all of which would undoubtedly help to improve the quality of the analyses (I have posted the same to the LINGTYP list - so sorry for cross-posting...). Many thanks in advance and best wishes, Wolfgang -- -- *Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulze * ---------------------------------------------------------- /Primary contact: / Institut für Allgemeine & Typologische Sprachwissenschaft Dept.

This year we will be in the fine city of Brugge / Bruges - whose city centre is a UNESCO world heritage site. Our teachers this year will be: Ana Deumert (University of Cape Town) Historical Sociolinguistics in A Colonial World, African Perspectives Martin Durrell (University of Manchester) Linguistic standardisation and the nation in Europe Susan Fitzmaurice (University of Sheffield) The uses of Social Networks Analysis for social description in Historical Sociolinguistics Anthony Lodge (University of St Andrews) Aspects of the sociolinguistic history of Paris Terttu Nevalainen (University of Helsinki) Historical sociolinguistics as corpus linguistics Wim Vandenbussche (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) Back to the sources . Hands-on research, problems and mysteries in archives for young researchers. Hans Van de Velde (Universiteit Utrecht) When apparent becomes real. The interplay of synchronic and diachronic phonological variation in Dutch. There will be six hours of classes per day, so there is plenty of time to explore the city. You will have the opportunity to present your own research at a special session and there will be an excursion for the historically-touristically minded. The school will last for one week and the cost of 350 Euros includes accommodation, tuition, and an excursion. If you register and pay in full before May 1st, 2010, we will give you a discount of 50 Euros, i.e. you will only pay 300 Euros. Please note that there are only 40 places available.
