Meeting Description:

The linguistic descriptions of motion events have fascinated many researchers
because of their complexity, universality, and variation (e.g., Talmy 1985,
2000; Slobin 2004). In spite of many dedicated studies, however, there are
many phenomena that have not been explored. The NAMED conference (Neglected
Aspects of Motion-Event Description) is a forum for discussing such aspects of
motion-event description. This year, we will have a session on deixis, one of
the areas in which there has been an increasing interest among researchers.
Questions that have attracted recent attention include:

a) What kinds of distinctions are made in the forms expressing dynamic deixis?
Cf. Wilkins & Hill 1995; Wälchli 2006
b) How does deixis fit in the currently available typologies of motion event
descriptions? Is it a part of path? Cf. Morita 2011, in press; Matsumoto 2021;
Lamarre et al. in press.
c) How frequently is deixis expressed in different languages?
d) How are deictic verbs and directionals used in speech context? Are they
purely spatial in nature or do they involve any interactional properties of
speech situations? Cf. Matsumoto, Akita and Takahashi 2017.
e) Is deixis in motion event descriptions different from that which is found
in demonstratives and other deictic categories (as described in Diessel 1999;
Levinson 2018, etc.)?
f) How are deictic categories grammaticalized?
g) How do the expressions of associated motion involve deixis, and how should
they be conceptualized in terms of motion event typology? Cf. Guillaume 2021;
Lamarre et al. in press.
h) How are gestures (e.g. Talmy 2017) used to convey deictic information in
motion events.

NAMED 2022 will be held in Kyoto, Japan, and it is the first NAMED conference
to be held outside Paris. The conference is planned as an in-house meeting,
though we may adopt a hybrid format depending on the situations concerning
COVID-19 pandemic.

Invited Speakers

Holger Diessel (University of Jena)
Christine Lamarre (INALCO)
Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University)

We welcome proposals for presentations on any of the topics related to motion
events, especially those addressing issues of deixis in motion-event
descriptions. 

We accept abstracts for both oral and poster sessions.
