Meeting Description: 

Aim: 
This workshop aims at bringing together linguists of different orientations and with different research focuses in order to furnish our understanding of contrasts between Propositions (truth-valued predications) and SoAs (non-truth-valued predications).

Topics and issues covered:
All aspects of Proposition-SoA contrasts are of relevance to the workshop, including the following:

Proposition-SoA contrasts in individual languages or language families or across language families
- Nominalization contrasts.
- Noun contrasts
- Contrasts in complement, adverbial and/or relative clauses
Modelling the Proposition-SoA contrast in specific frameworks
A typology of Proposition types and/or SoA types
Interaction of the Proposition-SoA contrast with other categories, including:
- Realis-irrealis contrasts
- Finite-nonfinite or balanced-deranked contrasts
- Tensed-nontensed contrasts
- Evidentiality
- Modality

Convenors: 
Kasper Boye & Marie-Louise Lind Sørensen, University of Copenhagen
