Meeting Description: 

In many languages grammatical relations are to some extent lexically
restricted, in the sense that certain verbs or verb classes take different
argument coding frames than others. While such constraints are well studied
for case marking, they have also been reported for grammatical relations
defining other types of constructions, including a range of voice- and
valency-related constructions and some clause-combining constructions. This
hybrid (on-line/on-site) workshop aims to unite scholars from different
(sub)disciplines, bringing together descriptive, comparative, corpus-based,
and experimental studies, as well as studies that compare linguistic data with
genetic and/or socio-historical evidence. Together, we hope to further our
understanding why lexical restrictions should exist, how they are processed
and acquired, and why/how/where they persist in languages.

Shedding light on these issues requires not only a cross-linguistic
understanding of lexical restrictions in language use, but also thinking
beyond the linguistic system proper. This includes addressing questions about
the cognitive nature of lexical restrictions, e.g. about their role in
language processing or language acquisition, but also about their
cultural-historical behavior in different genealogical and areal contexts. 

With this workshop, therefore, we aim to stimulate the conversation between
different (sub)disciplines, bringing together descriptive, comparative,
corpus-based, and experimental studies, as well as multi-disciplinary studies
that compare linguistic data with genetic and/or socio-historical evidence.
