Meeting Description:

The 12th Conference on Syntax, Phonology and Language Analysis (SinFonIJA 12)
will be held on 12-14 September 2019 at the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech
Republic.

SinFonIJA is a formal linguistics conference organized each year by a
different institution in the area of former Yugoslavia and Austria-Hungary.
The theme of the SinFonIJA conference is wide and spans all areas of formal
linguistics.

Invited speakers:

- Susi Wurmbrand (Harvard University/University of Vienna)
- Jochen Trommer (University of Leipzig)
- Viola Schmitt (University of Vienna)
- Scott Grimm (University of Rochester)


Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited from all areas of theoretical linguistics, including
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition and historical
linguistics. Submissions from other areas of linguistics will also be
considered, provided that the theoretical significance of the paper is clearly
demonstrated in the abstract.

We invite abstracts for

- a 25-minute oral presentation, followed by 5 minutes of discussion
- a poster presentation

Workshop on Number, Numerals and Plurality 

Invited speaker: Scott Grimm (University of Rochester)

In connection with the SinFonIJA conference, we invite abstracts for a special
workshop on topics related to number, numerals, and plurality.

There are many ways in which number, as a cognitive category (Dehaene 2011),
and different quantificational operations can be incorporated into grammars of
natural languages. The research on interpretation of grammatical number has
demonstrated the complexity of the mapping between semantics and morphology
(e.g., Sauerland 2003, Spector 2007, Zweig 2009, Farkas & de Swart 2010, Grimm
2012). Similar, the study of form and meaning of numerals has shown the
intricacy of the compositional mechanism deriving numerical quantification
(e.g., Scha 1981, Krifka 1999, Landman 2003, Fox & Hackl 2006, Ionin &
Matushansky 2006, Kennedy 2015, Rothstein 2017). This workshop primarily
targets contributions that enhance our understanding of the relationship
between the semantic notion of plurality and formal properties of different
types of structures that might be used to refer to plural entities. We invite
papers that examine morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic issues within the
following areas of linguistic inquiry:

- numerals and complex numerical expressions
- numeral modifiers
- mass/count distinction
- number systems
- classifier constructions
- measure phrases
- collective nouns
- coordination structures
- cumulative, collective, and distributive interpretations of syntactic
structures

We encourage both empirical and theoretical investigations. Above all, we
welcome typological and experimental approaches.

Deadline for abstract submission: April 1 2019
Notification of acceptance: June 16 2019
