Meeting Description: 

In recent years, the research on Native South American languages has seen a
rising interest in complex sentence structure (van Gijn et al. 2011, van Gijn
et al. 2014, Amaral et al. 2018, Overall et al 2018, Zariquiey et al. 2019).
Languages of South America show phenomena that are challenging for the
traditional definitions of complex sentence structures. For instance, the
traditional definitions of adverbial, complement, and relative clauses are
questioned by so-called headless and internally-headed relative clauses, or by
adverbial clauses performing the predication function in copular sentences. A
further issue is establishing to what extent subordinate clauses are nominal
and whether subordinating conjunctions may be alternatively analyzed as
adpositions in some of these languages. In some language families of South
America, furthermore, the syntactic distinction between lexical classes such
as verbs and nouns is weak or diachronically young, which makes it more
difficult to grasp categories like relativization or nominalization. 

This workshop, which will be organized at the research lab SEDYL
(CNRS–INALCO–IRD) in Villejuif/France and held via Zoom, intends to bring
together experts on Native South American languages from both a
functional-typological and a formalist background. The objective is to help
researchers from different backgrounds to find a common ground in the way they
describe the different phenomena involved in complex sentences.

Program:
