Meeting Description:

Proper names have been widely studied from a philosophical and a
linguistic perspective (Frege, 1892; Russell, 1905; Strawson, 1950;
Searle, 1958; Donnellan, 1970; Kripke, 1980; Soames, 2002; Elbourne,
2005; Fara, 2015; Matushansky, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2015, among others).
Over the last decades, they have become an important subject of
investigation with respect to the semantics of reference and the
syntax of the nominal phrase and, more specifically, to the different
types of determiners and modifiers they can combine with, such as
indefinite and definite articles (von Heusinger & Wespel, 2007;
Gomeshi & Massam, 2009; Bernstein et al., 2019; Camacho, 2019; Saab,
2021; Oggiani & Aguilar-Guevara, forthcoming), honorific particles
(Saab, 2021), and adjectives (Sigurdsson, 2006; Bernstein et al.,
2019). There is also a growing interest in the cross-linguistic
perspective (e.g. Caro Reina, 2020, 2022; Becker, 2021; Caro Reina &
Helmbrecht, 2022).

In this context, the research project “Proper Names with Determiners
and Modifiers in a Cross-linguistic Perspective” aims to contribute to
this discussion by bringing together researchers working on proper
names with determiners and/or means of modification from a
morphological, syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic perspective. The
starting event of this research group will be the workshop “Non-Bare
Proper Names: Proper Names with Determiners and Modifiers in
Cross-Linguistic Perspective”. The workshop will take place in
Cologne, Germany, in May 2024, and will be followed by later academic
events in Mexico and Uruguay.

We invite contributions on proper names with determiners, quantifiers
and/or any means of modification, as well as honorifics, diminutives,
classifiers, and other affixes, from a morphological, syntactic,
semantic, or pragmatic perspective. The main questions this Workshop
seeks to answer are:
i) What categories can accompany proper names in natural language?
ii) What is the meaning contribution of these categories? How does it
combine with that
of proper names?
iii) What kind of syntax do determined and modified proper names
project?

Call for Papers:

We invite submissions for 30 min presentations (plus 15 min for
discussion) in English. Abstracts should be anonymous and not longer
than two pages (Times New Roman 12 pt., single space, 2,4 cm margins).
They should be submitted in pdf format to:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nbpn2024

Submissions open: Aug. 1, 2023 - Dec. 11, 2023

Abstract review period: Dec. 12, 2023 - Jan. 15, 2024
