Meeting Description:

The Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences is pleased
to announce the conference “Caritive Constructions in the Languages of the
World”, has been rescheduled for November 30 - December 2, 2020 in Saint
Petersburg, Russia.
The conference aims to bring together studies on caritive (a.k.a. abessive or
privative) constructions in different languages. The working definition of
caritive employed by the organizers is as follows:
Caritive describes non-involvement of a participant (Absentee) in a situation,
with the non-involvement predication semantically modifying the situation or a
participant of another situation.

Examples:
- Jill went to the party without Jack.
- Jack entered a room without windows.
- I saw a beardless man

Submissions may address any issues related to caritive constructions:
pragmatic, semantic, syntactic, morphological, or lexical, synchronic or
diachronic, language-particular as well as cross-linguistic. We are especially
interested in papers concerning the expression of caritive semantics in the
languages that do not have a dedicated caritive marker.

Invited Speakers:
Thomas Stolz (University of Bremen)
Matti Miestamo (University of Helsinki)

There are no conference fees.

Working languages: English (preferable), Russian.
