[Lingtyp] Reminder: Deadline for abstracts for "Workshop on 'External' Agreement with Unexpected Targets'

[o.bond at surrey.ac.uk]

This is a reminder that the deadline for abstracts for a Workshop on "External" Agreement with Unexpected Targets to be submitted for consideration for the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea<http://sle2019.eu/> (SLE) in Leipzig is on Friday 16 November 2018.

'External' agreement occurs when targets agree with a controller that is outside a syntactically defined local domain, typically conceived of as strict locality (sisterhood) or high locality (such as verb-argument relations) (e.g. Alexiadou et al. 2013: 3-4). Agreement of this type is typically observed when typologically unusual targets, such as adverbs, adpositions, discourse particles and even nouns and pronouns, agree with clause level arguments.

This workshops aims to explore what constrains agreement systems of this kind, by drawing on language data from a diverse set of languages.

The full call for papers and further details is available on our project site:

http://www.smg.surrey.ac.uk/projects/external-agreement/workshop/

The organisers are Marina Chumakina, Oliver Bond and Steven Kaye (Surrey Morphology Group, University of Surrey).

Since this workshop is intended to be part of the annual meeting of the SLE it needs to go through a preliminary round of evaluation. If the proposal is successful, the participants will be asked to submit a full abstract. Provisional titles and abstracts (up to 300 words) should be sent by 16 November 2018 to Marina Chumakina at the following address: m.chumakina at surrey.ac.uk<mailto:m.chumakina at surrey.ac.uk>

For more information, please contact Oliver Bond (o.bond at surrey.ac.uk<mailto:o.bond at surrey.ac.uk>).

Important dates:

Provision abstract deadline: 16 November 2018
Notification of inclusion in workshop: 20 November 2018
Notification of acceptance of workshop: 15 December 2018
Deadline for the submission of full abstract if workshop proposal is successful: 15 January 2019
