Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

Predication is the backbone of natural-language syntax and semantics.
Secondary predication comes in a wide variety of forms. Early research in
theoretical linguistics shows a strong tendency to represent all forms of
secondary predication uniformly (Williams 1980). It has become clear in more
recent year that generalizations covering the entire spectrum of secondary
predication constructions (incl. epistemic constructions, depictives, and
resultatives) are less straightforward than previously thought, and that
detailed investigation of the various subtypes, in both verbal and nominal
environments, is of the essence in building a solid understanding of secondary
predication. In this workshop, various problems of secondary predication are
approached from new Asian/non-European perspectives, by looking into the
details of the facts regarding secondary predication in Asian languages, and
often, but not always, through comparisons of Asian languages with other
languages or comparisons among Asian languages. 

Pre-registration is required. (See the Workshop website for the registration
Zoom link, which will be available in early October. The Workshop link will be
provided upon pre-registration. There is no registration fee.)
