Subject: Romance; French; General Linguistics; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax / Lingvisticae Investigationes (Jrnl)

 
Full Title: Lingvisticae Investigationes 


Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Subject Language(s): French (fra)

Language Family(ies): Romance 

Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2017 

Contributions are invited for a special issue on ''Transitivity and Valency:
from theory to acquisition'' to appear in Lingvisticae Investigationes. 

For the full Call, please visit:
http://lilpa.unistra.fr/actualites-agenda/actualites/

The aim of the issue is two-fold: First, we target at promoting an evaluation
of the terminology on transitivity alternations, taking into account
morphosyntax and its interaction with semantics, their respective applications
and their inter-relation, and a sorting of knowledge that seems established
out of obsolete one. Secondly, our understanding needs to be enriched by means
of new research methodology, not purely linguistic one, such as real-time
online processing and eye-tracking, which have not yet been sufficiently
exploited for French, contributing to a liaison between mainstream and new
insights.

Under this rationale, we welcome papers aiming at a state-of-the art
retrospective examination that points towards theories of common ground and
questions that remain open. Contributions are also expected to confront
various theoretic approaches (i.a. Le Bellec 2009; Legendre et al. 2016;
Kahane & Mazziotta, 2015; Gross 2012; Hamelin & Legallois 2016). We invite
authors to address questions as whether an object is semantically implied in
constructions with no object position, if null objects should always be
treated as implicit ones, if we can suggest that verbs become unergatives or,
what happens to unergatives used transitively. Tying in the typological with
the diachronic perspective, we particularly welcome synchronic or diachronic
work. Besides, cross-linguistic comparisons are expected to shed new light to
problematic areas of the phenomenon.

Recent research on (a)typical language development, SLA, 2LA, L3/Ln
acquisition in French boosted our understanding of the processes occurring in
(de)transitivisation. Research among heritage speakers or attriters remains
rather unexplored in Romance (cf. Montrul 2004). Contributions of the special
issue are invited to address these domains that remain fruitful or little
explored for transitivity and valency in French.

Submission guidelines:

Papers submitted in English or French will follow the double blind revision
process. Submissions should not exceed 37000 signs (including spaces)
references included, and respect the typographical conventions of Lingvisticae
Investigationes:
http://infolingu.univ-mlv.fr/LI/LINGVISTICAEINVESTIGATIONES.html

Full versions of the papers should be sent to vassili at unistra.fr and
geofotia at auth.gr no later than January 15th 2017.

Important Dates: 

15 January 2017: first-draft manuscripts
15 February 2017: Notification to authors
15 May 2017: Final Submission
July 2017: Publication

Authors are strongly invited to send an ''intent to submit'' email to guest
editors by December 2016 (including author(s), tentative title, and brief
description). In case of no final submission, we would much appreciate a note
of withdrawal.
