Subject: Call for Proposals: Handbook of Applying Role and Reference Grammar in Persian

 
We are soliciting chapters for a volume to be published by Springer (in the
series Springer Handbooks on Languages and Linguistics) on applying Role and
Reference Grammar in Persian. We envision that the volume will discuss a range
of linguistic phenomena in Persian based upon Van Valin’s systematic approach
to the study of grammar and language—and his emphasis on emphasizing the
typological variations among languages. We aim to also challenge specific
assumptions of RRG (e.g. the syntax-semantics linking and case assignment) and
extend RRG’s scope to include the interrelation between argument realization,
alternation behavior, and lexical representation with respect to a particular
semantic class of verbs. We believe that such a study is essential to reflect
the very latest RRG-based explanations for analyzing different syntactic
phenomena in Persian and to explore how syntax interacts with semantics and
pragmatics. Thus, this edited collection is intended to offer readers a
state-of-the-art report on this field with a special emphasis on Persian. We
welcome submissions that fall into (but certainly are not limited to) the
following areas of studies in RRG:

- Layered structure of the clause and operators
- Adjuncts and peripheries
- Adpositions and noun phrase structures
- Lexical representation and semantic roles
- Aktionsart
- Logical structures
- Morphosyntactic marking of focus structure
- Formal representation of focus structure
- Macroroles, linking and case assignment
- Reflexivization
- Complex sentences
- Complex NPs
- Computational implementation
- Syntax-semantic interface
- Case alternation
- Causative alternation
- Transitivity alternation
- Voice alternation
- Word order alternation
- Computational implementation
- Educational implementation
 
Authors are encouraged propose their own themes if their research in the
subject are falls outside the preceding suggested topics. Researchers are
invited to submit proposals (250-400 words) for this volume. Chapters must be
original work and not under review for publication elsewhere. Please send us
your chapter proposal by May 31, 2021 as well as a short bio (max 100 words)
for each author.

Deadlines:

- Proposal submission: May 31, 2021
- Notification of accepted proposals: July 15, 2021
- Complete chapter submission: June 30, 2022
- Peer-reviewing and revisions (editors + publisher): June 30, 2022—October 1,
2022
- Revisions post-copyediting: October 1, 2022—December 1, 2022
- Review of revisions by editors of volume: December 1, 2022—January 15, 2023
- Submission of Drafts to Springer for peer-review (of publisher): January 15,
2023-February 15, 2023
