Differential Object Marking in RomanceInternational workshop
of the ''Unity and diversity in Differential Object Marking'' research program sponsored by the Federation for Typology and Linguistic Universals, CNRS

INaLCO, Paris
June 18, 2015

Differential object marking (DOM) is now a well-known and well-described phenomenon (Comrie 1979, Bossong 1985, 1998, Croft 1998, Lazard 1994, 2011, Iemmolo 2010/11, Dalrymple & Nikolaeva 2011). Research over the past twenty years has allowed us to grasp the key parameters at work (Hopper & Thompson 1980, Laca 2002, 2006, Aissen 2003, Leonetti 2003, 2007, Næss 2004, von Heusinger & Kaiser 2005, de Hoop & de Swart 2007). This research has also contributed to a more fine-grained presentation of the phenomenon in a number of languages, in synchrony and, for some cases, in diachrony.

Call for Papers:

We invite papers dealing with any aspect of DOM in Romance, both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, illustrating the issues presented below (or suggesting new ones):

(i) DOM and clitic-doubling, DOM and the lexical nature of the verb, DOM and indefinites / bares nouns / inanimates, DOM and partitives
(ii) description of DOM in less studied Romance varieties (Corsican, Sardinian, Sicilian, Asturian, Provençal, Italian dialects, Romanian South-Danubian dialects, French dialects...)

Anonymous abstracts not exceeding 2 pages (including references and examples) should be sent as PDF attachments to the organizer, alexandru.mardale at inalco.fr, by May 10, 2015. Please specify in your message the following: author name(s), presentation title, institutional affiliation.
Presentations will be allotted 30 minute slots including 15 minutes for discussion.
The publication of a selection of the papers as a special issue of an international Romance journal (Revue romane or Romania) is foreseen.

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 10 May 2015
Notification of acceptance: 20 May 2015
Workshop: 18 June 2015
