Meeting Description: 

The Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes (LLING UMR 6310 CNRS- Nantes
Université) is pleased to announce the workshop ''Looking for Non-Future
Tense'' (NFT Workshop) which will take place on May 19-20, 2022, at the
University of Nantes (France).

The NFT workshop aims to contribute to the formal, typological analysis of
tense and more specifically, in languages or clausal structures which lack
surface/overt tense marking.

i) Diagnostics/arguments for null Non-Future tense in surface tenseless
languages, discriminating 3 lines of analyses: positing no syntactic tense vs.
covert underspecified tense vs. covert Non-Future tense (Bittner 2005,
Matthewson 2006, Sybesma 2007, Tonhauser 2010, Thomas 2012, Sun 2014, Bochnak
2016 a.o.)
ii) Diagnostics/arguments for overt Non-Future tense in e.g. Karitiana (Storto
2003, Ferreira & Müller 2019) and Old Egyptian (Reintges 1995)
iii) (Non-)Future and futurates (Copley 2008)
iv) Interactions between aspect and Non-Future
v) Verbal vs. nominal tense marking
