Meeting Description:

Vocatives are classified either in purely formal terms (vocative case) as part
of the 'language system', or as functional structures manifesting themselves in
'language use' only. Although languages differ in terms of usage conditions and
availability of morphological marking, vocatives are amongst the most basic and
also most early acquired structures of language. While the focus of research
clearly lies on languages with morphologically marked vocative, syntactic
(non-)integration, pragmatic factors, and the emergence and decline of vocative
forms are among the less studied aspects. 

Call for Papers

The aim of the international workshop 'Vocative!' is to bring together
researcher from various linguistic disciplines in order to come to a more
detailed picture of this structure between 'system' and 'performance' on a
cross-linguistic basis. We invite contributions from all theoretical approaches,
both synchronic and diachronic.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Morphology: (asymmetrical) marking of structures
- Syntax: position, integration, internal structure
- Phonology
- Grammaticalisation and obsolescence
- Diachrony: 'old' and 'new' vocatives
- Pragmatics: conditions of usage
- Typology: distribution
- Medium and genre
- Vocative particles
- Language acquisition

Invited Speakers:
Prof. Dr. Christian Stetter (RWTH Aachen)
Prof. Dr. Helmut Pape (University of Bamberg)

question period. One-page (including references and examples) anonymous
abstracts in both .doc and .pdf format (times new roman, 12p) should be sent to
Vocative2010 at gmx.net .

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
