Meeting Description:

The Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes (LLING UMR 6310 CNRS &
Université de Nantes) will be hosting a thematic workshop on temporal
adjunct clauses, a.k.a. the After/Before Clauses workshop. The
conference will take place in person in Nantes (France) on 14 June
2024.

This workshop addresses the question of the distribution and
interpretation of tense in temporal adverbial clauses (henceforth
TACs) and, in particular, in so-called before- and after-clauses.

While it would seem that after-clauses typically serve to express
subsequence of the eventuality described in the main clause relative
to that in the after-clause, it has long been known that
before-clauses do not simply express the converse relation (Anscombe
1964, Heinämäki 1978), since before-clauses tend to be non-veridical
and trigger specific pragmatic inferences.

In languages that display temporal connectives such as before and
after, core questions such as quantificational force or constraints on
the relative ordering of the described eventualities in the main vs.
adjunct clause have been made largely dependent on the semantics of
the connectives (Beaver & Condoravdi 2003, Condoravdi 2010), but
cross-linguistic inquiries show that languages display other and more
complex strategies for ordering events since, in particular, languages
can lack temporal connectives such as before and after altogether
(Bohnemeyer 1988, Tonhauser 2015, Kubota, Lee, Smironova and
Tonhauser-2009, Ogihara 2022, a.o.).

Such cross-linguistic variation raises the question of the extent to
which TACs are comparable across languages with respect to their
semantics and the pragmatic inferences they trigger, and of how to
compositionally account for the temporal interpretation of TACs while
predicting the range of possible variation in their morphosyntax and
in the distribution and interpretation of subordinate tense across
languages.

The ABC workshop will immediately follow the TripleA 11 workshop,
which will be held in Nantes on 11-13 June 2024. All participants in
the ABC workshop are invited to attend and/or contribute to TripleA 11
(see separate TripleA 11 workshop call for papers).
