The central aim of the<br>workshop is to develop a better understanding of how existing and novel<br>insights from different approaches to dispositions can be integrated<br>into a single theory of dispositions and their linguistic descriptions.<br><br>Invited Speakers:<br>Artemis Alexiadou (Stuttgart)<br>Elena Castroviejo (Madrid)<br>Ariel Cohen (Ben Gurion)<br>Bridget Copley (Paris)<br>Nora Boneh (Jerusalem)<br>Hans Kamp (Stuttgart)<br>Marika Lekakou (Ioannina)<br>John Maier (Cambridge, TBC)<br>Christopher Piñón (Lille)<br>Stephan Schmid (Berlin)<br>Barbara Vetter (Berlin)<br><br>Questions to be addressed by the Workshop:<br>1. What are the truth conditions of dispositional statements?<br>2. How are these truth conditions determined compositionally?<br>3. In what ways can dispositions be linguistically expressed?<br>4. What are linguistic tests for dispositionality?<br>5. Are there distinct notions of ‘disposition’ between which a<br>linguistic theory of disposition description should distinguish?<br>6. Among the words that can be used to express dispositionality are<br>nouns, adjectives and verbs. What systematic connections are there<br>between the ways in which different parts of speech do this, in<br>particular between deverbal nouns and adjectives and the underlying verbs?<br>7. What role do temporal and aspectual sentence constituents play in the<br>verbal expression of dispositions?<br>8. How do dispositional statements differ from habitual and frequency<br>statements?<br>9. What relations are there between dispositions and causality?<br>10. One of the constructions that can be used to describe dispositions<br>are middles. (An example: the German sentence `Dieser Satz liest sich<br>leicht’ (‘This sentence is easy to read’)). Is ‘middle’ a<br>morpho-syntactic or a notional concept? Where do the argument positions<br>of disposition-expressing middles come from? What is the<br>syntax-semantics interface for these constructions?<br><br>For a more detailed outline of the Workshop, please consult the Workshop<br>homepage:<br><br><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/dispositions2015/general-information" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/dispositions2015/general-information</a><br><br><br>Call for Papers:<br>We welcome submissions for a 20 minute talk (followed by 10 minutes of<br>discussion) or a poster on any topic relevant to the goals of the<br>workshop. We particularly welcome contributions addressing the<br>linguistic relevance of philosophical insights on dispositions or the<br>philosophical relevance of linguistic insights on dispositions.<br>All submitted abstracts should be written in English and be limited to<br>two single-spaced pages, complete with examples and bibliography. All<br>texts should fit within two A4 pages, with 2,54 cm/1-inch margins all<br>around. Each abstract should start with the title (centered) at top,<br>above the main text. Use font size 12 throughout (except for examples),<br>preferably in Times or Times New Roman. The abstract should be<br>camera-ready. Authors may submit at most one individual and one<br>co-authored abstract.<br>Save your abstract as a PDF. Name your abstract with your last name<br>followed by the suffix pdf (e.g., huang.pdf). Submit your abstract via<br>the EasyChair Conference, online submission system:<br><br><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dinl2015" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dinl2015</a><br><br>Please leave your name and affiliation out of the abstract. Please<br>indicate whether your abstract is for a talk, a poster or both.<br><br>Extended Deadline for submissions: March 8, 2015<br>Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2015<br><br>Contact: <a href="mailto:dispositions.workshop@gmail.com" target="_blank">dispositions.workshop@gmail.com</a><br><br>Organizers: Fabienne Martin, Marcel Pitteroff, Tillmann Pross<br><br><br><br>Selected references:<br>Alexiadou, A. and Schäfer, F., 2010, On the syntax of episodic vs.<br>dispositional-er nominals.
