Meeting Description:

Workshop proposal for the 52nd SLE Annual Meeting in Leipzig, Germany 

The workshop aims at assessing the cognitive reality of (grammatical)
paradigms throughout various linguistic domains, thereby testing this notion
for its ability to allow for “graceful integration” (Jackendoff 2011), meaning
that it should be able to account for empirical findings and general cognitive
mechanisms. Paradigms are seen as part of speaker knowledge and important
generalizations that enable speakers to deal with previously unencountered
elements. Moreover, grammatical paradigms are an important tool in describing
the target structure of grammaticalization. It is assumed that grammatical
categories are structured paradigmatically in this sense. The theoretical and
conceptual foundations of the workshop are grammaticalization theory,
implicational morphology, usage-based constructional approaches, cognitive
semantics, as well as corpus-based and experimental approaches to grammatical
structures in diachronic and synchronic phenomena.

The basic assumptions derived from this background are:

1. paradigms are necessary generalizations of grammatical structures,
2. paradigms are part of the grammatical knowledge of speakers, and
3. paradigms are what makes grammaticalization processes structured processes.

This workshop intends to investigate and test these assumptions, and thus
raises the following questions:

- Can research from different linguistic subdisciplines underpin the
importance of the notion of paradigms?
- What are the advantages (and limitations) of such an integrative approach of
describing grammatical structures as paradigmatic, i.e. as consisting of
oppositions and relations?
- Is there independent evidence from neighbouring disciplines supporting the
assumption of paradigms as cognitive entities?
