Meeting Description:

We invite contributions that concentrate on the meaning-based and interface
properties of particles (including the areas of semantics, pragmatics,
mophosyntax, and phonology). Our starting point are discourse particles of the
type that have been characterized as modal particles in the traditional
literature on German (cf. Grosz forthc. for an overview), but interesting
analyses and case studies of other types of particles are just as welcome
(e.g. focus, degree-based, conjunctive etc.). Crucially, the main focus of the
workshop lies on a contrastive stance. That does not mean that all papers
necessarily need to consider more than one language. But rather than just
describing, for example, Standard German particles system-internally, as on
the traditional view, the goal should rather be to find out about the relevant
underlying meaningful properties, as has been done for a number of languages
and varieties in the meantime (cf. e.g. Büring 2017, Gyuris 2009, Matthewson &
Kratzer 2009, Hinterwimmer & Ebert 2018, Zimmermann 2011, Zobel 2017, among
others). Diachronic case studies and analyses are a fortiori also particularly
welcome.
