Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 20-Oct-2009 

Meeting Description:

Laurence Horn's comprehensive and essential work A Natural History of Negation
(1989) reveals the interest on negation that has prevailed for the last 2000
years among linguists, and logicians and philosophers as well. Negation is still
an open realm of study in linguistics, if only given recent methods of data
investigation (research via corpora), or though the comparison of various
theories (for instance, formal versus functional), or the question of the
respective explanatory roles of syntax, semantics and pragmatics. 

2nd Call for Papers 

The aim of this conference is thus to bring together works pertaining to
negation, as well as anything related to opposition, contradiction and what one
could name « contra-dicting » and refutation. Those papers will preferably bear
on as many languages as possible and will cover as many fields of linguistics as
possible. A few guiding lines are laid out below but do not intend to be
exhaustive: 
a) lexical morphology 
b) lexical semantics 
c) Intra and interpropositional syntax, macrosyntax 
d) Pragmatics and discourse analysis

Submission abstracts must be relatively expanded (2,5 to 3 pages, including
bibliography). They must be anonymous. Each abstract will be reviewed by two
readers. 

The talks may bear on any language, and pertain to synchrony or diachrony. 
The proposals (in Word, OpenOffice, or PDF files) are to be submitted on the Web
Site of the conference: http://www.crisco.unicaen.fr/acontrario/  (opened from
May 11, 2009)

Dates: March 24-26, 2010 
Submission Deadline: October 20, 2009 
notification of Acceptance: December 15, 2009 
Registration: regular 50 euros; Student 25 euros 
Official Languages: French or English
