<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>we would like to inform you about the upcoming workshop Syntax,
Semantics, and Pragmatics of Aspect Across Modalities (SSPAM) in
Batumi (Georgia) and the following call for papers:<br>
</p>
<p>Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2019 <br>
<br>
Meeting Description:<br>
<br>
It is commonly assumed in both semantics and syntax that there is
a distinction between inner aspect (lexical or predicational
aspect) and outer aspect (grammatical aspect) (e.g. Smith 1991/97;
Cinque 1999; Travis 2010 for spoken languages; Bross 2018 for sign
languages). Inner aspect pertains to the distinction between telic
and atelic predicates at the level of the VP (the verb and its
argument(s)), and the compositional derivation of telicity, going
back to works by Verkuyl (1972) and Krifka (1989). Outer aspect,
on the other hand, is concerned with, e.g., imperfective (IPF) and
perfective (PF) verb forms that are associated with (im)perfective
meanings in finite sentences (see, e.g., Klein 1994). At the same
time both levels of aspect interact, with grammatical aspect
commonly taken to operate on the level of inner aspect (see, e.g.,
de Swart 1998 for an early treatment of this interaction). The
workshop ''Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics of Aspect Across
Modalities'' wants to discuss recent advances in the research on
inner and outer aspects and their interaction. <br>

<br>
Call for Papers: <br>
<br>
We invite abstracts on the semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of
aspect in different languages and especially welcome contributions
from sign language linguistics and gesture research, as well as
from psycholinguistics (e.g., work on acquisition or on
processing). Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages (A4, using a 12pt
font) including references and examples. Anonymized abstracts
should be sent to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SSPAM2019@googlemail.com">SSPAM2019@googlemail.com</a> no later than 1 April
2019. <br>
<br>
The workshop will be part of the 13th International Tbilisi
Symposium on Language, Logic and Computation, which will be held
on 16-20 September 2019 at Batumi, Georgia. The exact workshop
dates will be announced soon; but we expect the workshop to take
place on the first two days of the symposium. <br>
