Meeting Description:

he JENom workshops originate in France, which explains its French acronym (Journées d’Études sur les Nominalisations). The first five editions were held in Nancy, Lille, Paris 8, Stuttgart and Barcellona.

This year’s JENom will be organized by the University of Verona and the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, and will be held in Verona on June 30-July 1, 2015.

JENom traditionally aims at bringing together researchers who are concerned with the morphology, syntax and semantics of nominalizations of eventive verbs. However, recent editions significantly broadened the focus of the workshop so as to include a larger variety of related topics and constructs. JENom6 will continue along these lines.

Call for Papers:

We invite submissions on morphological, syntactic and/or semantic aspect of the study of nominals – nouns, nominalizations, noun phrases – in various languages and theoretical frameworks. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

1) Structure and semantics of nominals

- Morphologically complex nouns
- Semantic (/Aktionsart) classes of deverbal nouns
a. Psychological / perception / state verbs and derived nouns
b. Causation in derived nouns
- Deadjectival and denominal nouns: morphological, syntactic and semantic properties
- Noun compounding, noun incorporation, noun reduplication
- Underived nouns with event semantics

2) The features of nominals

- Declension class
- Gender
- Number
- Case

3) Morphosyntax and semantics of nominals in broader constructions

- Light verb constructions
- Cognate object constructions
- Construct state constructions

Each talk will receive 30 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should be anonymous and should not exceed 2 pages in length (A4 or letter-size), in 12 pt. font, with 1-inch/2,5-cm margins, including examples and references. The language of the submissions and the presentations will be English.
