Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories; Morphology; Phonology; Syntax; Typology 

Call Deadline: 04-Nov-2018 

Meeting Description:

Our aim for this workshop is to bring together typologists with a
theory-neutral background and linguists working in formal theories and who are
at the same time interested in cross-linguistic variation and universal
tendencies. 

The discussion will center around the relation between typology and
theory-driven linguistic research. The main question guiding the discussion
will be: which aspects of formal linguistic theory are necessary,
complementary, orthogonal or even misleading for typological research? 



Call for Papers:

Possible topics for papers in this workshop include, but are not limited to,
the following ones: 

- How can formal theoretical views help to develop or to guide typological
studies? 
- What are possible advantages or disadvantages of theory-neutral vs.
theory-driven typology?
- When have formal theories misled typological research? What are potential
dangers of theory-driven typological studies?
- Finding comparative concepts on which cross-linguistic studies can be based
being a core issue in typology; can formal theories help in establishing more
precise and fine-grained comparative concepts that allow us to adequately
capture cross-linguistic variation and guarantee cross-linguistic
applicability? 

We invite both general contributions to these topics as well as case studies
concerned with specific phenomena that help us to understand how linguistic
theory and typology can interact, or that relate in some other way to the main
questions of  the workshop.

Workshop convenors:

Matías Guzmán Naranjo
Laura Becker

We ask for non-anonymous 300-word abstracts (.doc & .pdf) for inclusion into
the workshop proposal to be submitted to the SLE organizers.

Please send your abstract to: mguzmann89 at gmail.com

Deadline: November 4, 2018
