Meeting Description:

This workshop focusses on Differential Object Marking (DOM) in Spanish,
addressing two main issues: 1) The diachronic development and consolidation of
the current system, and 2) current tendencies in the Spanish-speaking world
(particularly spoken Spanish).

Invited speakers:

Marco García García.

Conference fee: 120CHF (includes coffee breaks and lunches); reduced fee for

Call for Papers:

The fact that many languages worldwide differentiate some types of objects
from others through grammatical marking has been subject to a considerable
amount of research throughout the last decades. Among the issues raised are
the emergence, expansion, and the exact function of Differential Object
Marking (DOM, Bossong 1991), as well as its respective correlation with other
elements within grammatical systems.

Due to its visibility and its worldwide presence, but also to its important
role in the scientific formulation of the notion of DOM, Spanish is a
particularly prominent language showing a showing a vital prime example of the
phenomenon. But even though some central aspects of this scheme, such as the
emergence of DOM, its extension in the Middle Ages or its function in modern
written Spanish, have been subject to comprehensive research, some central
aspects of the following core issues still remain open: 

1) Where, when and how did the Spanish DOM System emerge and consolidate
itself until the establishment of the current state?

2) Which are the current tendencies in the Spanish-speaking world
(particularly in spoken Spanish)?

The Zurich project on Differential Object Marking in Spanish invites scholars
to join us at a workshop where we want to discuss contributions to these two
main research foci, including also aspects of contact languages and of other
Romance languages. 

The workshop will be held at the University of Zurich on June 4 and 5, 2018.

The languages of the workshop will be English and Spanish.

Submission of abstracts (maximum one page including references) until December
31, 2017 (to be sent to kabatek at rom.uzh.ch) 

Notification of acceptance until January 31, 2018
