Meeting Description:

CHRONOS is a series of international conferences dedicated to current
research on the semantics and pragmatics of tense, aspect,
actionality, and modality/evidentiality and also their morphology and
syntax. The CHRONOS conferences welcome presentations from scholars
who conduct linguistic research on diverse languages from different
perspectives and within varied theoretical frameworks. PhD students
are most welcome to submit their papers.
Previous CHRONOS editions took place in Dunkerque (1995), Bruxelles
(1997), Valenciennes (1998), Nice (2000), Groningue (2002), Genève
(2004), Anvers (2006), Austin (2008), Paris (2009), Birmingham (2011),
Pise (2014), Caen (2016) and Neuchâtel (2018). The 15th edition of
CHRONOS will be held in Toulouse, at the Université Jean Jaurès, from
29th to 31st May 2024. All presentations will be delivered in English
or French.
CHRONOS 15 aims to be a green and sustainable conference.

2nd Call for Papers:

New Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2023

CHRONOS is a series of international conferences dedicated to current
research on the semantics and pragmatics of tense, aspect,
actionality, and modality/evidentiality and also their morphology and
syntax. The CHRONOS conferences welcome presentations from scholars
who conduct linguistic research on diverse languages from different
perspectives and within varied theoretical frameworks. PhD students
are most welcome to submit their papers.

Call for Papers:

We invite presentations exploring the semantics, pragmatics and
morphosyntax of temporal, aspectual, modal and evidential linguistic
devices, approached from any descriptive, theoretical, experimental or
comparative angle. Within this broad field, we encourage submissions
bearing on the following topics:

- TAME markers in under-represented languages: what tools, methods,
and concepts are used? how do researches conducted on
under-represented languages challenge and impact dominant theories of
TAME?
- Diachronic and diatopic variation of TAME markers (in Romance
languages, European languages and beyond): what main changes are
observed? what are the emerging grammaticalization paths? what
relations can be established between diatopic and diachronic
variation?
- Temporality and discourse coherence: what interactions can be
observed between temporal structure and discourse coherence? what is
the contribution of temporal adverbs and temporal connectives to
discourse interpretation?
- Temporality and orality: what are the specific mechanisms of
temporal expression in “oral texts” (conversations, oral literature,
life stories, voice messages, etc.) as compared to written texts?
- Analysis of TAME markers based on parallel corpora: what insights do
we gain from a corpus-based language comparison on the system of TAME
markers? what resources and tools are or should be made available for
the systematic exploration of parallel corpora?
- The expression of TAME in the visual modality: what are the TAME
markers in Sign Languages? what formal devices are employed to enable
temporal interpretation in depicted narratives? What methods and
theoretical frameworks can be deployed to analyze those devices?
- The future between time and modality: what is special to the future
vis-à-vis the past and the present which sets the former apart from
the latter and makes it so that the future is often a hybrid category
between tense and modality? What are the grammaticalization paths
leading to the emergence of future grams from a modal category?
- Time and cognition: to what extent the specific properties of
linguistic systems can influence the conceptualization of time? Can we
find any invariants in mental representations of time across languages
and cultures?
- TAME and First Language Teaching: what do linguistic theories
contribute to Language Teaching? What are the challenges arising from
teaching TAME?

CHRONOS 15 will also be an occasion to pay a tribute to Co Vet, who
recently passed away, whose work has left a deep imprint on the
linguistic study of tense in French. We plan a special session
featuring talks inspired by Co Vet’s researches on tense and thus
encourage submissions that may fit into this session.
