CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop: Grammaticalization in East Asia

10-15 August, 2009

Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands

Abstract Submission Deadline: 10 January, 2008

Conference URL: http://www.ru.nl/cls/ichl19/

Previous research on grammaticalization in East Asian languages mainly 
focuses on the individual changes occurring in a specific language as 
well as comparison between examples from Asian languages and previous 
studies in European languages as an isolated phenomenon. For example, 
while TAM markers in these languages have been studied extensively, most 
of the work concentrates on the development path of individual markers, 
rather than change in TAM system as a whole. In addition, the research 
data is often collected from the standard variety of a language, while 
the dialectal data is often neglected. Therefore, this section adopts a 
systematic approach; the emphases will be given to an example of 
grammaticalization which triggers paradigmatic change, as well as 
typological findings in East Asian languages as a whole, in a specific 
language family, or among dialects of one language, which differ from 
the rest of the world. The systematic approach to grammaticalization 
will not only enable us to amalgamate the previous findings of the 
individual changes, it will also evaluate their validity.

The workshop is a part of the ICHL19 conference. Anonymous abstracts 
should be submitted via the ICHL-19 website: http://www.ru.nl/cls/ichl19/.
