The workshop welcomes research on change of state verbs from various persectives, including scalar analyses of the verbs and their distinction with respect to their different scale structures (e.g. as open vs. closed scale verbs), implicature readings and polarity effects of the items, variability of telicity readings, analyses in terms of duration (e.g. durative vs. punctual verbs), among others. This workshop brings together scholars working on semantic, pragmatic or morphosyntactic aspects of CoS verbs from theoretical or empirical perspectives. It addresses (but is not limited to) the following questions: - Which role do features of gradable adjectives play for the analysis of CoS verbs? - What are the criteria to account for the relation between telic/atelic interpretations and scalar structure? - What are the limits between durative and punctual readings and how can they be accounted for? - Which (cross-linguistic) morphosyntactic mechanisms can be used to alter CoS readings? - What is the impact of morphosyntactic structure in processing different scalar readings? - How does the structural complexity of (causative) CoS verbs interact with theta roles and the (gradual) achievement of a result state? - How can we model the (in-)compatibility of degree modifiers and measure phrases with CoS verbs? - To which extent can positive and negative environments affect the implicatures/entailments of degree phrases and modifiers? - What are the effects of vagueness or polarity in language use and how can they be captured? *ORGANIZERS* Paola Fritz-Huechante & Antonio Machicao y Priemer (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) *INVITED SPEAKERS* Louise McNally (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) Stephanie Solt (Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft – ZAS) *CALL FOR PAPERS* We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts from both theoretical or empirical perspectives by August 15th 2021 (extended, last call). Authors should submit 1-page abstracts (including references) in a 12 point font (e.g. Times New Roman) in PDF-format to: dgfs2022.cos at lists.hu-berlin.de Questions regarding the workshop will be received at the same mail. Talks will be given 30 or 60 minute slots including discussion, depending on the program. Please specify your preferred length (30', 60', or both) in your submission. The workshop language is English for both abstracts and talks. Please note that according to the DGfS regulations presenters may not present in more than one workshop. However, they can be named as co-authors in other talks. In addition, a limited number of travel grants of up to 500 euro each are available for accepted contributions by DGfS members with low income or without income. *IMPORTANT DATES* Abstract deadline: 15th August 2021 (extended) Notification of acceptance: 30th August 2021 Conference date: 23rd–25th February 2022 For more information on the workshop check the workshop website: https://hu.berlin/CoS Best, Paola & Antonio -- --------------------------- Dr. Antonio Machicao y Priemer Phone (office): +49/30/2093-9702 Homepage: http://www.linguistik.hu-berlin.de/staff/amyp Address (office): Dorotheenstrasse 24 (Room: 3.305), D-10117 Berlin Address (post): Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institut für deutsche Sprache und Linguistik) Unter den Linden 6, D-10099 Berlin From Sailer at em.uni-frankfurt.de Mon Aug 2 12:21:42 2021 From: Sailer at em.uni-frankfurt.de (Manfred Sailer) Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2021 14:21:42 +0200 Subject: [HPSG-L] Aug 3, Atlantic-friendly HPSG gathering Message-ID: <20210802142142.Horde.Ct41pjBwdko0_2MK9u7R53W@webmail.server.uni-frankfurt.de> Dear fellow HPSGians, We hope this message finds you well!
