The shared grammaticalization may have arisen independently in each of them by universal principles of grammatical change, it may have been induced by language contact, or it may have been inherited, either from the ancestral language, when the languages were one and the same or through “parallel drift”, after the languages were disconnected. Universal principles are at work, for instance, in the shared grammaticalization of a verb ‘go’ into a future marker by genealogically and areally unrelatable languages such as English in Europe, Zulu in Africa, Quechua in South America and Tamil in Asia. A classical example of contact-induced grammaticalization is the copying of aspectual meanings on certain originally independent verbs, such as the copying of progressive aspect on the verb eraman ‘to carry’ in southern Basque under influence of the grammaticalized progressive meaning of the Spanish verb llevar ‘to carry’ (Jendraschek 2007: 157). A prototypical case of inheritance is the shared grammaticalization of the Romance future markers; Romance languages globally share a root for the verb ‘have’ such as French avoir, Spanish haber, Portuguese haver and Italian avere as well as the grammaticalized future marker as in French chante-rons, Spanish canta-ré, Portuguese canta-rei and Italian cante-rémo ‘we will sing’, reflecting a process of grammaticalization that took place in the ancestral language.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> The approaches taken by the speakers will be either theoretical, reflecting upon shared grammaticalization in a cross-linguistic sample of languages, or experimental, investigating shared grammaticalization between two or more Transeurasian languages or between a Transeurasian language and unrelated languages. We use Transeurasian in reference to a large group of geographically adjacent languages, traditionally known as “Altaic”. They share a significant number of linguistic properties and include at most five different linguistic families: Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic and Turkic.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The goal of the workshop is to shed light on instances of shared grammaticalization and the factors triggering them, with a special focus on the Transeurasian languages. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Specific issues to be addressed include, among others: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>- Is it possible to distinguish between the different determinants of shared grammaticalization: universals, contact or inheritance? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>- What is the exact impact of language contact and common ancestorship on the grammaticalisation process?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>- Is it possible to borrow grammaticalization per se, as a historical process?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>- Heine and Kuteva (2005) delimit their description of contact-induced grammaticalization to selective semantic copying, in their terms “replication”, but are there examples of globally copied grammaticalization?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>- Where do instances of so-called “grammatical accomodation” (Aikhenvald 2002: 5, 239; 2007: 24), namely the development of a native morpheme on the model of the syntactic function of a phonetically similar morpheme in the model language, fit in?
