CALL: Modality in Slavic at AATSEEL 2007

[Tanya Ivanova-Sullivan]

Apologies for the multiple postings. 

Dear SEELANGers,

I am organizing a panel on ‘Modality in Slavic’ at the 2007 AATSEEL in
Chicago. The panel aims at providing a forum for discussion of ANY aspect of
modality in Slavic languages, either from functional or from a formal
perspective. ‘Modality’ here is defined very loosely – mood(s), modal
particles, modal readings of tenses, imperatives and other grammatical
phenomena, types of modality (epistemic, deontic, etc.), and evidentiality
are some (but by no means all) of the possible topics for presentation. 

Although modality, and in particular, TAM (tense-aspect-modality) has been a
very explored topic in other languages, this is not the case for Slavic.
That’s why I encourage you to present your theoretical or experimental
research on the topic of modality at AATSEEL this year, something that will
give us the opportunity to assess the state of this field in Slavic
linguistics and possibly help draw parallels with other non-Slavic languages. 

If you are interested in presenting your research on modality, please send a
one-page abstract to:
