Meeting Description:
WAASAP is an international Workshop series celebrated biannually that focuses
on the aspect and argument structure of adjectives, adverbs, participles and
prepositions. In the time of its existence, it has developed into a
referential forum of discussion of the theory of predicative non-verbal
categories. Past editions have taken place at the University of Greenwich
(2012), The Artic University of Norway at Tromsoe (2014), The University of
Lille 3 (2016), and the University Pompeu Fabra (2018). This year’s edition is
hosted by the University of Greenwich in London to celebrate how it all
started.
WAASAP welcomes research on the aspectual and argument structure of nonverbal
categories, with a focus on adjectives, participles, prepositions and adverbs.
The topics that we are interested to include, but are not restricted to, are
the following:
(i) To what extent one can find correlates between the argument and aspectual
structure of verbs and those of adjectives and prepositions, for instance in
what relevant senses one can differentiate between classes of adjectives
according to the interpretations they impose to their subjects, how one should
analyse the prepositional complements of adjectives and adverbs or whether the
figure / ground structure of prepositional structures has a parallel in the
verbal domain and other empirical domains.
(ii) How the aspectual primitives in verbs –dynamicity, eventivity, duration,
telicity– have correlates in the non-verbal domain, for instance through
general path structures, scales and boundedness at different levels
(iii) What types of syntactic and semantic parallelisms and contrasts can be
identified between verbal predicates and non-verbal predicates, for instance
in phenomena like copular sentences, voice structures, raising predicates or
control structures
(iv) How the aspectual information emerges compositionally in syntactic
combinations of verbs and adjectives (cf., degree achievements, other classes
of deadjectival verbs) or verbs and adpositions (cf. the conative alternation
and other lexical alternations involving adpositional marking, the structure
of locative and movement verbs)
(v) How the argument structure of verbs and adjectives or adpositions combine
together in complex syntactic structures (eg., in secondary predication
contexts involving adjectives, adpositions or adverbs)
(vi) How the argument and aspectual structure of non verbal categories are
manifested typologically, with a particular focus on sign language
(vii) The acquisition and loss of the argument and aspectual structure of non
verbal categories, in contrast when appropriate with the equivalent properties
in the verbal domain
