Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2005 

Meeting Description:

The idea behind this conference is to bring together syntacticians and
semanticists who have worked on the topic of nominal incorporation and/or
nominal conflation, often independently. In addition to giving descriptions and
providing accounts of the different kinds of nominal incorporation available
cross-linguistically, the meeting hopes to address issues such as the status of
pseudo nominal incorporation and the concept of pseudo nominal conflation.
Papers on constructions and processes that resemble noun incorporation (e.g.
bare nouns, complex predication, etc.) are also very welcome. 

Cette conférence a pour but de réunir syntacticiens et sémanticiens travaillant
sur l'incorporation et/ou la conflation nominale, souvent indépendamment. En
plus des contributions descriptives et théoriques sur l'incorporation nominale à
travers les langues, le colloque espère apporter des réponses à des questions
nouvelles telles que le statut de la pseudo incorporation nominale et le concept
de la pseudo conflation nominale. Viennent s'ajouter à ces deux thèmes
principaux toutes les constructions et tous les processus qui ressemblent de
près ou de loin à l'incorporation nominale (noms nus, prédication complexe, etc.). 

We invite abstracts in English or in French for 20 min talks (plus 10 min of
discussion). A detailed call for papers and guidelines for submitting abstracts
can be found on the conference website.

INVITED SPEAKERS:

Greg Carlson (University of Rochester)
Veneeta Dayal (Rutgers University)
Alana Johns (University of Toronto)
Diane Massam (University of Toronto)
Veerle Van Geenhoven (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen)
Martina Wiltschko (University of British Columbia)

Nous sollicitons des résumés en anglais ou en français pour des présentations de
20 minutes chacune (avec 10 minutes supplémentaires pour les questions). Un
appel à communications plus détaillé ainsi que de plus amples renseignements au
sujet de la soumission des résumés se trouvent sur le site de la conférence.

Meeting Description:

Syntax and morphology multi-dimensional (Workshop at the DGfS annual meeting). 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Syntax and morphology multi-dimensional

Workshop to be held at the annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society
(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft - DGfS; www.dgfs.de) in Bielefeld,
February 22 to 24, 2006 (meeting program: www.uni-bielefeld.de/dgfs2006). 

In the last two decades or so, there has been a growing interest in approaches
assuming serveral syntactic and/or morphological 'tiers' or 'dimensions'.
Lexical Functional Grammar, for example, describes sentences jointly by means of
a c[ategorial]-structure, a f[unctional]-structure and an a[rgument]-structure
(Bresnan 2001). In Integrational Linguistics, a constituent structure, a marking
structure, a lexical interpretation, an intonational structure, and a relational
component are assigned to 'sentences' as well as to 'words' (Lieb 1983,
Eisenberg 2004). This workshop intends to investigate the advantages and the
limitations of such approaches with multi-dimensional sentence or word
structures. We want to discuss general aspects of theory construction as well as
empirical problems in describing individual languages, including the following
questions:

-  How do the different parts of a structure interact with each other and with
the non-morphosyntactic levels of description?

-  Which role do morphological and lexical properties play in a syntactic structure?

-  What are the advantages of representing word order and relational hierarchy
seperately, and what are the problems?

-  What are the common properties of multi-dimensional word and sentence
structures, and what is typical of each of them?

The workshop is addressed to syntacticians and morphologists who are interested
in discussing empirical as well as theoretical questions cross-theoretically.
There are slots for 30-min talks (including 10 min of discussion). Conference
languages are German and English. One-page abstracts should be sent to the
coordinators before September 1st, 2005, preferably by email (plain text or
attachments in Word format, or in RTF). Contributors should indicate their name,
affiliation and the e-mail adress at which they wish to be contacted. - Note
that, according to the DGfS guidelines, no speaker may present papers at two
different workshops of the annual meeting of the DGfS.
