2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
PRONOUNS: REPRESENTATION AND GRAMMAR
Workshop as part of the Annual Conference
of the German Society for Linguistics (DGfS)
University of Marburg
March 1-3, 2000
Pronouns are of particular interest for linguistic analyses since on
the one hand, their lexical reduction and their specific grammatical
features differentiate them from other word classes
cross-linguistically. On the other hand, the wide range of possible
pronominal functions establishes a number of pronominal subclasses.
Research about pronouns concentrates on
(a) universals in the grammar
of pronouns, and typological
and diachronical aspects of their realization in
specific languages;
(b) the contribution of pronominals to the syntactic and semantic
structure of sentences, and their analysis in different
models;
(c) the mental representation of pronouns, and impairments in
the production and comprehension of pronominals in aphasia.
The workshop wants to bring together different lines of research from
psycholinguistics, formal syntax and semantics, typology, and
diachrony.
The workshop will focus on, but will not be limited to, three
pronominal subclasses: personal, interrogative, and relative pronouns.
Possible topics are:
- What are the universal properties of pronouns, and how are they
realized in specific languages?
- What are the grammatical categories that organize pronominal
paradigms, and how do they develop diachronically and
in language acquisition?
- What is the nature of the impairments in the representation of
pronominals in agrammatic aphasia? Which mental modules or
submodules are involved?
- How can we account for the formal features of constructions
with pronouns?
- How do syntactic and semantic phenomena interact for the
interpretation of pronominals? How is reference constituted?
The objective of the workshop is to integrate these different subjects
in order (a) to obtain a more comprehensive picture of pronominal
elements from the point of view of different approaches, and (b) to
discuss the relationship of different grammatical aspects of lexical
elements and their representation.
Conference languages are English and German.
We invite papers on all aspects of the representation and grammar of
pronouns. Special attention will be given to papers that integrate
different lines of research.
Presentations will be 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for
discussion. Limited space is available for presentations of 40 minutes
+ 20 minutes for discussion.
Please submit:
- an anonymous one-page abstract, single-spaced in 12-pt Times font;
- for each author, one copy of the information form below.
Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged;
abstracts should be attached in plain text format or as WinWord files.
DEADLINE
All submissions must be received by August 31, 1999.
