Meeting Description:

WAASAP is an international Workshop series celebrated biannually that focuses
on the aspect and argument structure of adjectives and participles and adverbs
and prepositions. In the time of its existence, it has developed into a
referential forum of discussion of the theory of predicative non-verbal
categories. Past editions have taken place at the University of Greenwich
(2012), The Artic University of Norway at Tromsoe (2014), The University of
Lille 3 (2016), and the University Pompeu Fabra (2018). This year’s edition is
hosted by the research lab IKER UMR 5478 (CNRS, Université Bordeaux Montaigne,
Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour), and it will take place in Bayonne,
at the Campus de La Nive (Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour) in the
Basque Coast.

Keynote Speakers: 
Fabienne Martin (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin)
Sandhya Sundaresan (Leipzig University) 


Call for Papers: 

WASSAP5 welcomes, together with other topics that have been showcased in
previous editions of the workshop, research on the relation between
perspective and argument structure. The role of perspective, instantiated
along the mental, spatial, and/or temporal dimensions, can be observed in
linguistic phenomena ranging from certain types of anaphora (Clements 1975,
Sells 1987, Speas 2004, Sundaresan 2012, Pearson 2013), to psych predications
(Adger & Ramchand 2005, Landau 2009) and so-called “taste”-predicates
(Stephenson 2010), and more generally, in linguistic phenomena regulating
clausal finiteness and selection (Sigurdsson 2004, Speas & Tenny 2003, Bianchi
2003, Wiltschko 2014, a.o.). We seek works that approach the internal
structure of verbs and participles, adverbs and prepositions, and explore the
way in which perspective shifts relate to the internal structure of those
predicates, as well as to the syntactic and semantic context in which they are
embedded. Among the basic questions that the role of perspective raises in
such contexts are: (i) how linguistic perspective is formally represented,
(ii) how differences and similarities between the different types of
perspective (mental, temporal, spatial, modal) are grammatically encoded,
(iii) how the instantiation of perspective may differ relative to grammatical
phenomena (why for instance, perspectival anaphora is possible in the scope of
spatial, temporal and mental predicates in Tamil, but only along a spatial
dimension in Norwegian –Sundaresan and Pearson, 2014).
