Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2022 

Meeting Description:

Avertive is a relatively understudied category that expresses the
non-realization of some expected or desired event expressed or implied in the
clause (i.e. ‘someone nearly/almost did something’ or ‘someone was going to do
something [but didn’t]’). While we assume that avertive partly or completely
overlaps with the label frustrative, one aim of this workshop is to define a
cross-linguistically applicable set of criteria that allows avertive
constructions to be identified, and clarify how this category relates to
overlapping labels such as frustrative, antiresultative (Plungian 2001,
Malchukov 2004), or so-called non-culminating accomplishments (Copley & Harley
2014, Kroeger 2017, Caudal, in press).

There is a great diversity across languages in how avertivity is expressed. It
can be conveyed by specific morphological markers or in more complex avertive
constructions, including periphrases, particles, adverbs, or a combination of
them.  Example (1) presents a frustrative marker in Cubeo (Colombia, Brazil):

(1) ã-i-ma   boa-kɨjɨ-ba-dĩ=du-wɨ
 eat-ST-PAS.AN.PL kill-NMZ.FUT.MSC-BE-CVB=FRUST-N.3AN
 ‘I went for hunting (though I did not find much/any).’ (Chacon 2012: pp.
98-99) 

This workshop brings together researchers interested in the grammar and
semantics of avertive constructions, by focusing on both cross-linguistic
comparison and data from individual languages.


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for oral presentations focusing on the following topics: 
-Theoretical-empirical delimitation and labeling of avertivity/frustrativity.
-Analysis of avertive/frustrative marking in specific languages.
-Constraints on avertive/frustrative constructions.
-Cross-linguistic analysis of avertivity/frustrativity from diachronic,
comparative, and/or areal approaches.
-Relations between avertivity/frustrativity and TAME.
-Avertivity/frustrativity within the semantics-pragmatics interface.
-Language specific and/or cross-linguistic semantic clusters involving
avertivity/frustrativity.

Abstracts should be submitted through Easychair
(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=alt2022) according to the ALT’s
submission guidelines:
-They must be anonymous.
-They should be at a maximum length of one single-spaced page, 12pt font, with
another page (at maximum) for references and examples.

Avertivity and frustrativity in crosslinguistic perspective).
