Meeting Description:

For its fifth conference, the GReG Linguistics Research Group wishes to gather
researchers from various theoretical frameworks in linguistics to focus on the
notion of correction in language. As a polysemous term in French, correction
may refer to the state of being correct (correctness in English) or the
process by which something is made correct.

In its stative meaning the concept refers to a form of acceptability,
grammaticality, linguistic propriety or observance of convention, in other
words, conformity with a norm.

In its dynamic meaning it calls to mind processes of rectification or
remediation engaged in by the speaker, addressee or a third party. Correcting
means adjusting a linguistic production in order to minimize what is perceived
as a gap with respect to a target norm.
In both its meanings, ''correction'' invites us to think about the nature of
the standard norm from which it is inseparable. This research topic raises the
issue of semantic, syntactic, pragmatic, prosodic, etc. gaps with respect to
the norm. What is the often implicit norm according to which we correct
ourselves and others? Who or what is responsible for defining the norm? Should
it be understood as a statistical pattern defined in terms of frequency of use
or as an evaluative standard imposed onto others by a subgroup of speakers?

The notion of correction calls into play the concept of linguistic variation,
both in a synchronic perspective (since various systems, and therefore various
norms, co-exist within a single language) and in a diachronic perspective
(linguistic change resulting from originally deviant productions gradually
integrated into language).

The languages of the conference are French and English.

Venue : Université Paris Nanterre (France)
