Meeting Description:

The Research Centre on 'Multilingualism' (SFB 538), at the University of
Hamburg aims at providing a forum for the researchers within the Centre
carrying out work on 'connectivity' in multilingualism, to present their
work together with researchers from outside. 'Connectivity', as we
understand it, is a phenomenon occurring in all known languages, realised
by various prosodic, morphological, syntactic and lexical means, such as,
complementisers, conjunctions, adverbials, prepositions, particles,
converbs, deictics, phoric elements, word order, and intonation.
Connectivity is used here as a cover term for: (a) syntactic phenomena such
as coordination, finite and non-finite complementation, the internal
structure of the CP, the relation between the IP and the CP, and the
function of discourse markers; (b) discourse phenomena such as utterance
internal/external, thematic and illocutionary aspects, and text and
discourse deixis. We would like to discuss connectivity in multilingualism
from different perspectives, such as prosody, pragmatics, syntax,
historical linguistics, language acquisition, and neurolinguistics. The
ultimate goal is to provide new (reconciliatory) perspectives between the
different strands of research in this area.
