The Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences is
> pleased to announce the conference “Caritive Constructions in the Languages
> of the World”, has been rescheduled for November 30 - December 2, 2020 in
> Saint Petersburg, Russia.
> The conference aims to bring together studies on caritive (a.k.a. abessive
> or privative) constructions in different languages. The working definition
> of caritive employed by the organizers is as follows:
> Caritive describes non-involvement of a participant (Absentee) in a
> situation, with the non-involvement predication semantically modifying the
> situation or a participant of another situation.
> Examples:
> ●
> *Jill went to the party without Jack.*●
> *Jack entered a room without windows.*●
> *I saw a beardless man.*Submissions may address any issues related to
> caritive constructions: pragmatic, semantic, syntactic, morphological, or
> lexical, synchronic or diachronic, language-particular as well as
> cross-linguistic. We are especially interested in papers concerning the
> expression of caritive semantics in the languages that do not have a
> dedicated caritive marker.
