Meeting Description:

Version française ci-dessous

Tenses are traditionally presented as part of a stable temporo aspecto-modal 
system where each fulfills specific and differentiated functions. "Eppur si 
muove": discursive practice shows a less constraint state of affairs and 
reveals a 'dynamic synchrony'.

The aims of the colloquium will be to describe and to analyse the places where 
change is currently happening, and where discursive practices are likely to 
make the verbal system evolve, as well as to evaluate the factors provoking 
changes. In addition, it is hoped that the meeting will be the starting point 
of an international reflection network on the issues covered.

-------

Les formes verbales d'une langue sont traditionnellement présentées comme 
éléments d'un système aspecto-temporo-modal stable où chaque tiroir remplit des 
fonctions spécifiques et discriminantes. Eppur si muove?: les pratiques 
discursives révèlent une réalité plus fluide et une « synchronie dynamique ».
Le but du présent colloque est de décrire et d'analyser les changements 
actuellement en cours, et les lieux où les pratiques discursives actuelles 
s'avèrent susceptibles de faire évoluer les systèmes verbaux des langues 
romanes, ainsi que d'évaluer les facteurs déclencheurs du changement. 

Les organisateurs espèrent que la rencontre sera le point de départ pour un 
réseau international de recherche sur les sujets abordés.
