Meeting Description:

This conference aims at gathering researchers interested in the properties of
predicates, in particular in issues regarding the polysemy and the argument
structure of verbs. The idea is to bring together insights on the polysemy of
verbs and on argument realization from different theoretical, empirical and
applied perspectives. The conference will also host a workshop on arguments
and adjuncts (see description below).

For the general session we invite contributions discussing the following
topics about the properties of predicates and argument structure:
- verbal polysemy at the interfaces: regular patterns and their exceptions
- arguments: relations between lexicon, syntax and semantics
- verbs and arguments over time: stability and dynamics of argument structures
- the syntax and semantics of clausal arguments
- structure of complex predicates (e.g. causatives, secondary predication,
serial verbs etc.)
- interaction between aspect, Aktionsart and argument structure
- bottom-up and top-down strategies in resources for studying predicates and
related phenomena (e.g. corpora, tools, experimental data etc.).

Other topics related to polysemy and argument structure of verbs are welcome
as well.

Invited Speakers:
Elisabetta Ježek (Department of Humanities, University of Pavia)
Carlo Geraci (CNRS, Institut Jean-Nicod & École Normale Supérieure, Paris)
Boban Arsenijević (Karl-Franzens-University of Graz, Institute for Slavic
Studies)

Workshop Arguments and adjuncts
Most syntactic theories differentiate between two major non-predicate sentence
elements: arguments and adjuncts (Tesnière 1959, Bresnan 1982, Chomsky 1981,
Dowty 2000, Van Valin 2001 et al.). The first ones are dictated and enabled
mostly by predicative verb while the second ones occur 'freely' in the
sentence. In recent times the clear cut between these two categories has been
examined (Grimshaw 1990, Herbst 2007) and distinction is seen as non-binary
and categorial, rather gradual in its nature (Forker 2014). Also their
cross-linguistic value has been questioned (Haspelmath 2014).

The topic of this workshop is the difference between arguments and adjuncts
from a theoretical, comparative, and applied point of view.

We will welcome papers addressing one or more following topics:

• different theoretical approaches to argument/adjunct distinction
• valency: multidimensional or uniform phenomenon
• tests for distinguishing arguments and adjuncts
• arguments and adjuncts from a typological and comparative point of view
• arguments and adjuncts: syntactic or semantic distinction?
• resources for the study of arguments and adjuncts and their distinction
• arguments and adjuncts in Croatian.
