Subject: International Workshop on Secondary Predication 2021

 
Full Title: International Workshop on Secondary Predication 2021 

Date: 30-Oct-2021 - 31-Oct-2021
Location: Tokyo (or online), Japan 
Contact Person: Masashi Kawashima
Meeting Email: kawashima.masashi at nihon-u.ac.jp
Web Site: https://sites.google.com/view/iwsp2021/call-for-papers 

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Call Deadline: 20-Jun-2021 

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 years that generalizations covering the entire spectrum of secondary
predication constructions (including 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, researchers from all corners of the world are
expected to share their expertise, raise issues on various aspects of
secondary predication, and provide solutions from new perspectives by looking
into the details of the facts regarding secondary predication in the target
language(s) of investigation, and/or through cross-linguistic comparisons with
other related or unrelated languages. 

Keynote Speakers: 
Marcel den Dikken and Éva Dékány (Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics,
Budapest)
Hideki Kishimoto (Kobe University)

Venue: 
The workshop has been shifted to the virtual conference on-line (details TBA).
If the situation allows, we will hold a hybrid meeting (online + physical
conference at Courtyard by Marriot Tokyo Station, Tokyo, Japan). (See the
conference web page for updates.)


Second Call for Papers: 

We would like to announce that the deadline for abstract submissions for
IWSP2021 has been extended to June 20, 2021. Please visit the conference web
page for more information.

We invite submissions of abstracts for 25-minute presentations (followed by
10-minute discussions) on any topic of secondary predication. We especially
welcome submissions addressing questions on secondary predication from a
formal theoretical perspective (e.g. generative grammar). Abstracts should be
one page long with titles, names/affiliations, and the main texts no longer
than 500 words, excluding examples, references and tables/figures; the
additional data may be listed on a second page. Abstracts should be submitted
in PDF at the workshop webpage:
