Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Building on the epistemology developed in the previous G.RE.G Linguistic Conferences (PLS.I, II and III), the GReG PLS IV Linguistics Conference proposes to investigate the mapping of linguistic parameters involved in the elaboration of meaning. For its fourth conference, the GReG Linguistics Research Group wishes to gather researchers from various theoretical frameworks in linguistics, to focus on the making of meaning which results from the interaction of linguistic “markers” and “structures.''

This conference will adopt a purely linguistic approach to these phenomena (grammar, morphology, syntax, semantics, cognition, prosody, discourse) and all analyses should be based on authentic corpora. Those submissions which take into account the interfaces between these different dimensions of language will be favoured.

For example, in English, how can have and get be systematized within their syntactic environments? The question can be extended to negative structures, the passive, or do + pronouns. Likewise, how is the meaning of should filtered in context by the fact that it appears in a complement clause after extraposition which construes judgment (it’s nice that he should have come) as opposed to a complement clause within a jussive main clause (He ordered that the hostages should be freed)? Or, how is the meaning of since determined, depending on whether it co-occurs with a present or present perfect in the main clause?

This line of enquiry will be underpinned by a definition of certain concepts, and by specifying what is meant by terms such as “marker,” “collocation,” “structure,” “construction,” “colligation” or “pattern,'' to quote just a few. To what extent are the constructions under study more or less constrained? How are certain adjustments in meaning, ambiguity or misunderstanding possible? (e.g. Tu me remets en prison, je suis fini). Moreover, how relevant is the term “instantiation,” which suggests a static model based on “filling” positions or “slots”? Is the distinction between grammatical and lexical items pertinent here? (cf. work on French by de Vogüé 2004, on fil, by Legallois 2012 on colligations, by de Vogüé and Paillard (1997), or by Bolly 2012 on prendre (prendre racine, prendre vie, prendre la vie de quelqu’un)). Can prosody also be regarded as a “marker”? Is it appropriate to talk about “complex markers”, the trace of a unique ope
 ration? How are chains of operations triggered? Do structures without markers exist, and what can be made of a marker outside structure? Do parataxis and hypotaxis reflect distinct operations? - in which case, how should the conjunctions be analysed? How is asyndeton construed? What textual unit, beyond the utterance, should be considered?

This leads to an essential question in the (re)construal of meaning: Can we talk about the interaction of operations pertaining to markers on the one hand, and operations pertaining to structures on the other? In this case, the latter exist separately, are in synergy with the former, and engender their own paradigms.

Again, the aim is to compare linguistic theories and how each sheds light on these questions. Diachronic studies may prove useful, with the analysis of the processes of lexicalization and grammaticalisation serving to enrich the discussion about the relationship between markers and structures, as would a study of phenomena relating to language acquisition.
