The aim of the present workshop is to gather insights on the 
multi-factorial mechanisms leading to the rise of the differential 
argument marking (DSM and DOM).

We invite contributions dealing with any aspect of the differential 
subject and object marking diachrony from any perspective. We emphasize 
that diachrony does not necessarily imply reconstructions of 
proto-stages of a language or involvement of ancient texts. Diachronic 
changes can be observed on a quasi-synchronic level, e.g., between the 
conservative and colloquial style of a present day language.

We welcome studies dealing with macro-changes (e.g., with the rise or 
demise of differential argument marking) as well as studies treating 
micro-changes (e.g., changes in the functional semantics of a particular 
differential argument marking system).
