Abstracts should be submitted directly to the NRG5 website (http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/nrg5/Call_For_Papers.html) and marked for "Workshop on Pragmaticalization". Please send your abstract to the two of us as well, so we can include it in our workshop proposal. If you already submitted your abstract to the conference website but would like to join our workshop, please forward your abstract to us and we will inform the conference organizers. Important notice:the general deadline for abstract submission to NRG5 is January 10^th , but has been extended to the 17^th for just this workshop. If our workshop proposal is rejected, your abstract will still be reviewed for the general programme. Workshop description The development of discourse markers is a controversial issue in grammaticalization theorizing (Beijering fc.). On the one hand, the growth of discourse markers is characterized by changes and effects typically attested in grammaticalization, e.g. decategorialization, phonological reduction, divergence or layering. On the other hand, it is crucially different from grammaticalization (Brinton & Traugott 2005:138f.), for instance because it involves scope increase instead of scope reduction, and an increase in syntactic freedom instead of syntactic fixation. These differences and similarities with prototypical cases of grammaticalization have given rise to divergent conceptualizations of the rise of discourse markers. Some authors (e.g. Ocampo 2006, Norde 2009) define pragmaticalization a process distinct from grammaticalization, others (e.g. Wischer 2000) consider it a special subtype of grammaticalization, yet others redefine grammaticalization properties so as to be able to include discourse makers. For example, Diewald (2011: 368) extends the notion of (grammatical) obligatoriness to "communicative obligatoriness". In this workshop, we welcome both theoretically and empirically oriented papers that address the question of whether pragmaticalization is a composite change in its own right, besides (de)lexicalization and (de)grammaticalization.Although we consider the boundaries between these "izations" as gradient, we are keen to explore the specific properties that distinguish discourse markers from grammatical elements suchas prepositions or modal auxiliaries, both synchronically and diachronically.

You can register for the conference via the conference website. Please see the website for more information including the full programme: http://www.geisteswissenschaften.fu-berlin.de/en/v/Refining_Grammaticalization/index.html Organizers: Horst Simon (FU Berlin) Ferdinand von Mengden (FU Berlin) Invited Speakers: Ulrich Detges (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich) Brian D. Joseph (Ohio State University) Already the two classical definitions of ‘grammaticalization’, by Meillet (1912) (‘[l’]attribution du caractère grammatical à un mot jadis autonome’) and Kuryłowicz (1965) (‘Grammaticalization consists in the increase of the range of a morpheme advancing from a lexical to a grammatical or from less grammatical to a more grammatical status [...].’), vary considerably in scope. Even more so today, the label grammaticalization is used for a great array of phenomena; it seems in fact that the term has come to be used to refer to virtually anything that concerns the change or replacement of grammatical forms or constructions. While this broad scope of the notion makes ‘grammaticalization’ a widely discussed phenomenon in linguistics, the notion has necessarily become fuzzy: it has become difficult (perhaps impossible?) to find a consensus in ascribing any defining property to grammaticalization. In this two-day workshop, we want to take stock of the various conceptualizations and try to re-focus our notion of grammaticalization in light of the empirical findings and the theoretical developments in recent years. This is motivated by our belief that most controversies concerning the properties and the status of grammaticalization have their origin in the fact that the notion has become inconsistent or even ill-defined. A further consequence is that a plethora of new -izations in the study of (grammatical) change have emerged, but no harmonious terminology – not to speak of a consistent model of the emergence and the change of grammatical forms. On the assumption that a loose use of the term grammaticalization does not contribute any longer to our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the emergence of grammatical forms and constructions, furthermore on the assumption that what Meillet originally had in mind – the emergence of grammatical forms – is a relevant cross-linguistic phenomenon, we would like to raise the question of how to refine the notion ‘grammaticalization’ in a way that is beneficial for our understanding of language change. Questions for discussion at the workshop include, but are not restricted to: • To what extent do additional concepts (X-izations) like pragmaticalization, discoursization, (inter)subjectification etc., which were born out of the context of grammaticalization studies but which are themselves not defined unanimously, need to be included into (or excluded from) a framework for the study of changes in grammatical forms. • What is their relation with grammaticalization – in Meillet's sense or in a wider sense? • What status have past and present attempts to model changes of grammatical forms, such as the traditional parameters, clines and others? • Are there characteristic features that can be observed in all instances of grammaticalization processes – whether in a wider or in a more narrow sense – and can therefore be considered definitory of grammaticalization?
