> Case, valency and transitivity belong to the most discussed topics of
> the modern linguistics. Case is a grammatical category determined by
> the syntactic or semantic function of a noun or pronoun. Valency is a
> verbal feature which characterizes the capacity of a verb to take a
> specific number and type of arguments and thus, in the languages with
> case-marking, crucially depends on the case-marking of the
> arguments. Transitivity is a more abstract feature of both verbs and
> syntactic patterns, determined by the ability of a given verb (verbal
> form) to take a (direct) object.
>
> Thus, the three concepts listed in the title of the workshop are
> intimately related to each other and build up the foundations of the
> syntactic skeleton of a clause. In fact, however, all the three
> concepts reach far beyond the pure syntax. On the one hand, they are
> crucially connected with such morphological aspects of the clause as
> case marking and person agreement (which both can be understood as
> case in a broad sense of the concept), valency marking on verbs (voice
> and diathesis) and various morphological devices for marking
> transitivity. On the other hand, they inevitably involve several
> semantic issues, such as meaning of case, semantico-syntactic verbal
> classes, semantic correlates of transitivity (in the vein of Hopper &
> Thompson's (1980) approach to transitivity as a bunch of features) and
> some others.
>
> All these issues belong to the scope of the research activity of the
> PIONIER-Project ''Case cross-linguistically'', started at University
> of Nijmegen in 2002 under the guidance of Dr. H. deHoop.
>
> Among the questions which we would like to see addressed are the
following:
>
> -  Case systems across languages
> -  Case semantics
> -  Valency, transitivity and verbal classes
> -  Valency change and case-marking
> -  Core valency and oblique arguments
> - Case-marking of subject and object: nominative, accusative,
> ergative, absolutive
> - Nominative-accusative and ergative-absolutive patterns in synchronic
> and diachronic perspective
> -  Evolution of case systems
> -  Person agreement as case-marking on verbs
> -  Passive, antipassive and other transitivity alternations
> -  Case-marking in causative constructions
> -  Marking of transitivity and labile verbs
> -  Transitivity and object marking
>
> The idea is to organize two- or three-day meeting on Case, Valency and
> Transitivity in the second half of June 2003.  We hope also to be able
> to arrange partial reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs for
> some participants if necessary.
>
> We invite those interested in these topics to a discussion, with
> reference to specific case histories or more general issues in the
> study of Case, Valency and Transitivity.  Each presentation will be
> allotted 30 minutes including time for discussion.
>
> Abstracts should not exceed one page and can be sent electronically or
> in paper format. Electronic submission should be pdf-files or Word
> documents.  Please include your name, affiliation, and contact
> information in the email message to which the abstract is attached. If
> sending as paper copy, please include your name, affiliation, and
> contact information on a separate sheet. Please specify in the subject
> line or on the envelope: Abstract for ''Case, Valency and
> Transitivity''.

> Deadline for abstract submission:       March 1st, 2003
> Notification of acceptance:             March 31th, 2003
