Meeting Description:

The Linguistics Association CerLiCO (Cercle de Linguistique du Centre et de l'Ouest) and the Linguistics Lab of Nantes (LLING) are pleased to announce the ''Agreement-Non agreement'' Conference which will take place in Nantes (France) from 10 to 11 June 2016.

L'association CerLiCO (Cercle linguistique du Centre et de l'Ouest) et le laboratoire linguistique de Nantes (LLING) ont le plaisir d'annoncer le colloque ''Accord -non-accord'' qui se tiendra à Nantes du 10 au 11 juin 2016.

This conference is the thirtieth conference organised by the CerLiCO association. It has been designed as the first part of a two-year cycle and will feature empirical studies focusing on the link between agreement and non-agreement, including the breach of agreement. 

Agreement - Non-Agreement:

For a long time, linguistic research has been trying to describe the relation between the different elements of an utterance, and yet the relation between agreement and non-agreement still remains a “riddle” (Jespersen 1924).

The notion of agreement (consequentia), which appeared quite late in grammatical tradition (Colombat 1996), was used in Latin to designate agreement phenomena per se, but also complementarity-related phenomena. Hence the association found in more recent descriptions between such notions as case agreement, declension, tense agreement, inflection, to name but a few. Following Lehmann’s work (1982, 1988) it could be interesting to really think about the impact of the use of those terms on the description of the phenomenon at stake. Thoroughly accounting for the different ways in which elements are linked to one another would certainly help us gain greater insight into the way languages work.

Studies on language typology and universals (Kihm 2005, Caubet, Simeone-Senelle et Vanhove 1989) have indeed identified the existence of hierarchies and specified agreement patterns for world languages. They have also led to the observation that this phenomenon goes beyond the frame of morphosyntax (Danon-Boileau, Morel, Tamba 1996). But how certain can we be that the notion of agreement is relevant to all languages (Delplanque 1996)? Slavic languages for instance – where agreement only occurs in certain configurations – raise the issue of agreement stability, which could also be addressed in order to put into perspective the investigation of the potential relation between agreement and non-agreement.

Call for Papers:

Papers should take into account the impact of the theoretical framework – whatever it may be – on the conception of agreement and will necessarily include examples. Presentations bearing on the interface between several linguistic subfields (phonology, phonetics, morphosyntax, semantics) are particularly encouraged.

Important information:

- Deadline for submission of proposals: 15 November 2015
- Notification of acceptance: 1st December 2015
- Conference: 10 - 11 June 2016, University of Nantes (France)

Submission procedure:

Proposals should be submitted in electronic format for 15 November. They should include research questions and data – not exceeding two pages – along with a short list of references. They may be written in English or French.
The abstracts will be made available to the participants at the time of registration and on the CerLiCO’s website.

Proposals will be double-blind peer-reviewed by members of the scientific committee.

They should be sent as strictly anonymous Word or PDF attachments to Catherine Collin (catherine.collin at univ-nantes.fr). Please specify ‘CerLiCO 2016’ as the subject of the email, and also indicate the author’s name(s), the title of the paper, and preference for oral or poster presentation in the text of the email.

Papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion. One session will also be devoted to poster presentations. After review, oral and poster presentations will be published the following year in the collection Travaux Linguistiques du CerLiCO.

Ce colloque sera le trentième organisé par l’Association CerLiCO. Il entamera la première réflexion d’un thème qui sera repris l’année suivante. Il accueillera des études empiriques qui interrogent le lien entre l’accord et le non-accord, voire la rupture d’accord. Seront privilégiées les études qui prennent en compte l’incidence que peut avoir le cadre théorique utilisé quel qu’il soit, avec la notion d’accord. Les communications s’inscriront préférentiellement à l’interface des différents domaines de la linguistique (phonologie, phonétique, morphosyntaxe, sémantique), et s'appuieront obligatoirement sur des exemples.

Modalités de soumission : 
Les propositions de communication sont à envoyer pour le 15 novembre 2015 sous forme électronique. Elles comporteront une présentation de la problématique et des données (deux pages au plus) ainsi qu’une brève bibliographie. Elles pourront être rédigées en français ou en anglais.
