Meeting Description:

IKER UMR5478 and the University of Konstanz are organizing a thematic
workshop in Bayonne (France), in the context of the closing of the
ANR-DFG project entitled Uncovering verb-second effects. An
interface-based typology (UV2).
The workshop will feature talks by invited speakers and researchers
from the UV2 project, as well as a Poster Session, around the topic of
verb-second effects in interrogatives and related constructions.

Call for Papers:

Wh-movement, or other syntactic operations such as focus-movement, are
often associated with leftward movement of the finite verb. The
resulting pattern, a ‘V2 effect’, recalls that of Germanic-type
‘strict’ verb-second languages. V2 effects are associated with a
variety of properties across languages, some of which correspond to
those of strict V2 languages, but not necessarily (subject-verb
inversion, enclisis, the impossibility for V1 and/or V3 orders).

Invited speakers.
Josef Bayer (Universität Konstanz)
Anna Cardinaletti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia)
Jan Casalicchio (Università degli Studi di Palermo)
Karen Lahousse (KU Leuven)
Ana Maria Martins (Universidade de Lisboa)
Serkan Sener (Yeditepe Üniversitesi)
Svenja Schmid (Universität Konstanz)
Michelle Sheehan (Newcastle University)
Maud Westendorp (Arctic University of Norway)

Call for Posters.

We invite submission of abstracts on the syntactic, semantic and
psycholinguistic aspects of this topic which address, but are not
restricted to the following questions:
- What can the syntax of interrogatives teach us about the nature of
V2? And what can the syntax of interrogatives in strict V2 languages
teach us about V2 in non-strict or relaxed V2 languages?
- What are the properties and the limits of V2 effects in
interrogatives? Why are they so prevalent cross-linguistically?
- What is the rationale behind verb-movement in interrogatives? Does
it involve verb-movement or rather movement of T/Infl, which
pied-pipes the verb? In which position does the verb surface? Does the
adjacency between the wh-phrase and the verb necessarily derive from a
Spec-Head relationship?
- How do we account for the deviations from V2 order?
- In which position does the postverbal subject surface? Can variation
in V2 effects be attributed to the subject’s placement?
- What can we learn from related constructions, such as focalization,
dislocation, clefts?
- How can language change inform us about the V2 property?

Deadline for abstract submission: 8 January 2023
Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than 500 characters (not
counting the references).

They should be submitted as a pdf file in anonymized form to the two
organizers:
Maia Duguine     maia.duguine at iker.cnrs.fr
Georg Kaiser     georg.kaiser at uni-konstanz.de
