Meeting Description: 

Save the date: Partitivity and Language Contact

This is the first announcement of the international workshop on 'Partitivity
and Language Contact', taking place at the University of Zurich/Switzerland on
November 25/26, 2016. The workshop is dedicated to a broad investigation into
the different means used for encoding partitivity and related notions such as
quantification, marking the mass-count distinction etc., and their potential
coming into being enhanced by language contact, between neighboring varieties
as well as between standard and dialectal varieties. Overall, the workshop
seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the syntax and semantics of
nominal and pronominal partitivity markers in a wide range of languages
(German, German dialects, Dutch, Luxemburgish, Romanian, Istro-Romanian,
Italian, Italian dialects, Ladin, Sardinian, French, Occitan, Catalan,
Russian, Russian dialects, Croatian, Molise Slavic, Breton, Finnish, Estonian,
Hungarian) - both from a formal and typological perspective. 

Further information (website, detailed program, inscription) will be
communicated via Linguistlist by the end of June. We would be delighted to
welcome many of you in Switzerland! For any queries, please feel free to
contact either Prof. Elisabeth Stark (estark at rom.uzh.ch) or David Paul Gerards
(davidpaul.gerards at uzh.ch).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
