Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the University of Palermo organises a workshop
on “The Syntax of Causative, Perception, and Restructuring Verbs in Romance
and Latin” which is to be held on May 26-27, 2022. It is part of the annual
SCUPs (Syntactic Conferences at the University of Palermo).

The aim of this workshop is to deepen our empirical and theoretical knowledge
on the syntax of infinitives, gerunds and pseudo-relative clauses with
causative, perception and restructuring verbs in Romance languages and
varieties, as well as on older stages, starting from Latin, and on the
diachronic path that led to an evolution within these constructions.

Invited Speakers:
- Pilar P. Barbosa (U do Minho)
- Adriana Belletti (Siena)
- Pierluigi Cuzzolin (Bergamo)
- Maria-Teresa Guasti (U Bicocca, Milan)
- Adam Ledgeway (Cambridge)
- Alexandru Nicolae (Bucharest)
- Francisco Ordóñez (Stony Brook)
- Esther Rinke (Frankfurt)

2nd Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for presentations on all topics related to our general
aim, both from a synchronic or diachronic perspective. We particularly welcome
presentations that compare different constructions, languages, or both; as
well as presentations that deal with Latin or with the diachronic evolution
that led to the actual situation. The abstracts may – but do not have to –
address the following topics:
- Causative, perception and restructuring constructions in Latin, and the
presence/absence of transparency effects in this language;
- Diachronic perspectives (evolution of the relevant configurations and their
properties, grammaticalization, etc.);
- The syntactic analysis of infinitives with causative, perception and
restructuring verbs (ECM, raising-to-object, control, monoclausal vs.
biclausal analysis, etc.);
- Structural integration of the finite or non-finite clause (subordination,
adjunction, small clause analysis, etc.);
- The status of the of the causee/‘perceivee’ (‘accusative subject’ of the
infinitival clause or internal argument of the matrix verb?);
- Inter-speaker and cross-linguistic (intra-Romance) variation;
- Insights from lesser studied varieties of Romance;
- Corpus-based and experimental approaches on structures with causative,
perception and restructuring verbs;
- Acquisition of causative, perception and restructuring constructions by L1
and L2-speakers.

Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two pages (12-point type,
single line spacing, 2.5cm margins), including examples, tables and
references. The file should be anonymous both in the body of the text and in
the filename. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and one
joint abstract, or two joint abstracts, per author.

The language of the conference is English.

The abstracts should be submitted on easyabstracts in pdf-format no later than
February 15, 2022.
