CALL FOR PAPERS

         Conceptualization and grammaticalization
               in language production

       Workshop as part of the Annual Conference
      of the German Society for Linguistics (DGfS)

               University of Marburg

                  March 1-3, 2000

In the last few years, interest in questions of language production
has greatly increased.

One of the central issues dealt with in this area is the question of
how language-specific structures determine the ways in which
situations are verbalized.

Contrary to former conceptions (cf. e.g. Levelt 1989 or Bierwisch &
Schreuder 1992) recent findings suggest that there are important
interdepencies between properties of language-specific structure and
processes of conceptualization: studies contrasting different
languages have shown that speakers of different mother tongues
systematically verbalize different aspects of the same situation (cf.,
e.g., Carroll 1997).  This has partly been attributed to the fact that
different concepts are grammaticalized to different degrees in
different languages.

Cognitive approaches to typological research concerned with the
grammaticalization and/or lexicalization of various conceptual areas
have recently focussed (among other things) on the universal aspects
of the processes of grammaticalization. These approaches have almost
always been concerned with the comparison of grammatical
systems. However, very little is known about how structural
differences of typologically diverging languages affect
conceptualization processes.

The aim of the workshop is twofold:

- It intends to focus on the interface between conceptualizer and
  formulator (cf. Levelt 1989)

- It will also be concerned with the processes and principles
  that are relevant in this respect.

Papers submitted may deal with one or several of the following topics
(but other topics are possible as well):

- empirical research concerning language specific
  conceptualization processes

- experimental methods of and methodological problems in
  investigating language specific conceptualization
  processes in language production

- the interdependence between the selection of linguistic strategies
  (e.g. localization strategy or features of addressee orientation)
  and the degree of grammaticalization

- which impact do properties of language structure have on
  processes of perspectivization

- the role of grammaticalization processes

- consequences for the modelling of language production processes

The objective of this workshop is to bring together people working
within the fields of language typology, and, e.g., logical and
cognitive semanticists and cognitive psycholinguists.

Conference languages are English and German.

Presentations will be in general 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for
discussion. Limited space is available for presentations of 40 minutes
plus 20 minutes for discussion.
