Meeting Description:
Convenors: Francesca Dell'Oro (University of Neuchâtel) and Elisabetta
Magni (University of Bologna)
Description: Over the past few decades, the domain of modality has
been explored from a variety of perspectives: philosophical, logical,
formal, functional, and typological approaches have proposed different
labels, criteria, and taxonomies to carve out its categories and
describe their functions. However, both synchronic and diachronic
investigations depend crucially not only on the notions that are
assumed to form the core of modality but also on those placed at its
margins.
While there is a large consensus on the role of dynamic, deontic, and
epistemic meanings, broader accounts of modality have instead given
rise to a lively debate about the relevance and inclusion of further
(bordering) categories and phenomena. Indeed, some scholars use the
term modality in a narrow sense, limiting the analysis to those
expressions that can be described by the concepts of possibility and
necessity (van der Auwera & Plungian 1998, Kratzer 1991), yet others
describe this domain as the grammatical encoding of modal (and
related) meanings on the verb (Givón 1984, Palmer 1986), as
encompassing basic sentence types (Bybee et al. 1994), as focusing on
the qualification of states of affairs (Nuyts 2005), the factuality of
events (Narrog 2005, 2012), or the speaker’s attitude (Le Querler
2022). As a result, the boundaries of this ‘supercategory’ (Nuyts
2006: 2) remain blurred and in a state of apparent expansion.
This workshop aims to take a fresh look at the debate about the limits
and definitions of modality by exploring its fringes and its
interactions with diverse linguistic categories, semantic notions, and
functional domains, such as:
- tense, aspect and mood;
- quasi-modal verbs and constructions;
- speech acts, illocution, and pragmatic phenomena;
- (ir)realisness and the realis-irrealis continuum;
- evidentials and evidentiality;
- desirability and evaluation;
- subjectivity and intersubjectivity;
- negation.
Starting from this (non-exhaustive) list, we would like to stimulate
discussion on (i) the role of overlaps at the boundaries of the modal
domain in both synchrony and diachrony; (ii) the contribution of
typology and other approaches in identifying core and marginal
concepts; and (iii) the specific terminological aspects and
theoretical motivations underlying broader approaches to modality.
Final Call for Papers:
The 21st International Congress of Linguists (ICL) will be held from 8
to 14 September in Poznan. We invite abstracts for for Sections, Focus
streams, and Workshops. Sections will take place on Monday and Tuesday
(9–10 September), Focus streams on Wednesday (11 September), and
Workshops on Thursday and Friday (12–13 September).
Abstracts should clearly state the research question(s), approach,
method, data, and (expected) results. They should not display the
names of the presenters, nor their affiliations or addresses, or any
other information that could reveal their authorship. They should
contain the title, five keywords, and a text between 300 and 400 words
(including examples, excluding references).
Abstracts will be submitted via Easychair. The deadline for abstract
submission will be 8 January 2024 (12.00 PM CET).
Submission link for ICL abstracts:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icl2024poznan
Authors may apply, upon abstract submission, for a presentation or a
poster. Presentations will be organized in 30 minute slots (20 min.
presentation, 7 min. discussion, 3 min. room change). Posters are
always displayed during one full day. Separate time slots will be
included in the program in which participants can discuss with the
poster presenters.
Each abstract will be reviewed anonymously by two reviewers
(section/focus stream/workshop convenor + external reviewer).
Notification of acceptance will be 15 April 2024.

held at ICL 2024 are the following:
