Meeting Description: 

Languages possess grammatical means to encode the nature and progression of
change described by predicates. This is referred to as affectedness (e.g.
Hopper and Thompson 1980; Tenny 1997; Dowty 1991; Beavers 2011; Beavers et al.
2017) or event culmination (Demirdache and Martin 2015). 
This workshop focuses on two questions: (i) what the grammatical means to
encode the change (lexicon, morphology, syntax) and how is the change
trajectory conceptualised, and (ii) what are the available vectors to track
the change (patient, benefactive, self-benefactive, etc.), as in (Fried 2011,
2014; Kratochvíl and Delpada 2015, and others).  Submissions are invited on
languages of Asia and Oceania, but relevant submissions comparing two or more
languages, which include languages of Asia or Oceania, are also encouraged.
