Meeting Description:

Incrementality ('adding up to a larger whole', König 1991) can be
expressed by English 'more',  German 'noch'/'mehr', Hebrew 'od',
Mandarin 'hai' etc. While studies of individual incremental
constructions exist, there are still many gaps in their understanding.
This workshop aims to fill such gaps (A) by studying how incremental
constructions vary syntactically and semantically, both across and
within languages, and (B) by trying to integrate insights from two
approaches to incrementality, which thus far have not interacted: (i)
Degree-based approaches (e.g. Greenberg 2010, Thomas 2011), taking
incremental constructions to express additive measurements of
eventualities and (ii) discourse-oriented approaches (e.g. Eckardt
2007, Umbach 2012, Grubic 2018) taking them to be QUD-sensitive,
managing the growth of information along discourse-salient dimensions
(e.g. event/discourse time).
The topic of this workshop is closely related to that of the course on
Scalarity and additivity in natural language. Course participants are
welcome.
