Call for papers

Workshop on perfective auxiliaries

The University of Manchester

Organisers:
Delia Bentley (delia.bentley at man.ac.uk)
Thorhallur Eythorsson (tolli at man.ac.uk)
Nigel Vincent (nigel.vincent at man.ac.uk)

A workshop on perfective auxiliaries will be held at the University of
Manchester on 2-4 June 2000. The purpose of the workshop is to bring
together researchers working on syntactic and semantic aspects of
constructions with perfective auxiliaries. Space will be given to both
synchronic and diachronic analyses, including the relation between
perfective and possessive 'have' and 'be'.

The invited speakers are: Richard Kayne (NYU), Nunzio La Fauci
(Zurich), Michele Loporcaro (Zurich), Ian Roberts (Stuttgart) and
Antonella Sorace (Edinburgh).

Abstracts of no more than 250 words are invited (20 minute talks plus
10 minutes discussion). Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail to
perfect at man.ac.uk. The deadline for submission is 18 February 2000.
Notification of acceptance will be given by 29 February 2000.

Accommodation details will be provided in a subsequent circular.

The workshop is part of a large-scale research project entitled
"Archaism and innovation in the languages of Europe" (financed by the
British Academy), currently in progress at the University of
Manchester. The focus of this larger project is the structure and
change of argument marking in a cross-linguistic perspective.
