Meeting Description: 

Note: 

This conference has been rescheduled from April 2010, when the volcanic ash
situation prevented most speakers from coming.

In June 2010 the Surrey Morphology group will be holding a two-day conference on
periphrasis, the situation where a grammatical function normally realised by a
single word is expressed by more than one word. The dual nature of periphrasis
(morphological function performed by means of syntax) presents interesting
problems for linguistic theory. These have not yet been resolved, in part
because the theoretical devices available have been inadequate and partly
because the range of data considered has been rather narrow. Little is known
about the extent of typological variation of periphrastic constructions, their
interaction with the morphology and syntax of the languages they are found in,
the way they adapt to morphological structure, and the changes they undergo over
time on the way from being a free syntactic phrase to being a part of the
inflectional paradigm.

The conference arises from an ESRC funded project on periphrasis, within the
Surrey Morphology Group, involving Greville Corbett, Dunstan Brown and Marina
Chumakina.
