Subject: ICHL workshop
Abstracts are invited for a workshop to be held with the
XIII International Conference on Historical Linguistics,
Duessel-dorf 10-17 August 1997, titled:
Functional categories and morphosyntactic change
Convener: Ans van Kemenade (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
Speakers confirmed: Ian Roberts (Stuttgart)
Nigel Vincent (Manchester)
Abstracts are invited for 40-minute papers (including
discussion), which address issues concerning the role
of functional categories in morphosyntactic change. The
term 'functional categories' may be taken in a theory-
neutral sense (changes in the way categories like tense,
mood, aspect, case, number, gender etc. are expressed),
or in the sense in which it is used in current models
of generative syntax, where morphological categories
are taken to project a functional projection according
to phrase structure format. Suggestions for problem
areas include the following:
The role of functional categories in the grammati-
calization process. Grammaticalization very often
involves the reanalysis of a lexical category into
a functional category, e.g. from verb to complement-
izer. Papers might address the nature of and motiva-
tion for such reanalysis (semantically vs. syntacti-
cally driven).
Changes in case systems: issues that might be addres-
sed include the functional (non)equivalence of case
and prepositions as evidenced when morphological case
systems are lost; the relation between syntactic and
morphological case; the interplay between changes in
case and categories like aspect, and the grammatical
analysis thereof; the implications of regarding case
as a functional projection in the generative sense
for the analysis of changes in case.
The role of functional categories in word order change:
in generative approaches to word order change functional
projections play a key role in word order change. Case
studies in this area are welcomed. Since functional
projections are assumed to express morphological catego
ries, a close correlation between morphology and word
order is predicted. To what extent is this empirically
justified?

AIMS
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers of
intonation from different disciplines, promote international
scientific exchange and inform academia and industry about current
developments in intonation research and its applications.
MAJOR TOPICS
The workshop will be centred round three major topics of intonation:
I. Intonation Theory
II. Intonation Models
III. Intonation Applications
Prospective contributors are invited to submit papers on phonological,
physiological, acoustic and perceptual aspects of intonation as well
as its applications in the fields of language technology, language
education and language pathology.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will contain a mix of keynote presentations, plenary oral
sessions and poster sessions with ample time for discussion.
WORKSHOP SITE
The workshop site is a coastal suburb of Athens, close to both the
national and international airports. The workshop will take place at a
conference centre which has all the usual facilities and hotel
services.
ACCOMMODATION AND REGISTRATION FEES
Accommodation will be available at the conference centre and the
nearby hotels (detailed information and reduced prices will be
announced at a later date). The workshop fee, including the
proceedings and all meals for three days (17-19), is 255 ECU (European
Currency Unit, 1 ECU @ 1.2 US dollars) for ESCA members, 135 ECU for
ESCA student members, 300 ECU for non-members and 150 ECU for student
