Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

The aim of this workshop is to investigate the syntax, semantic, and pragmatic interplay of adverbial clause linkages in various languages. Contributions are invited, from scholars of different theoretic orientations, on in-depth (preferably corpus-based) research of different aspects of adverbial relations, including (albeit not exclusively): The typology of clause-linking strategies, in general, and the relevant parameters for certain adverbial relations, in particular.The linguistic encoding of (sub)types of semantic relationships, and the possibility of structural overlaps. The syntactic ways in which certain types of semantic relations are encoded in particular languages and/or linguistic families. Evidence for the relationship between coordination, subordination and co-subordination for particular adverbial relations . An assessment of previously proposed binding or implicational hierarchies dealing with adverbial relations (Cristofaro 2003; Van Valin 2005).The relevance of adv
 erbial subordinators. The sources or origins of adverbial subordinators. Syntactic and semantic integration between focal clause and supporting clause. Correlations between semantic relationship and constituent ordering. The interplay of TAM marking and argument structure factors (e.g., control) in determining the rise of particular semantic relationships. The role of language contact in the emergence of new syntactic manifestations of adverbial clauses (e.g. subordinator loans, syntactic calques).

Call for Abstracts:
