Meeting Description: 

Workshop of the Trajectory Project (CNRS/Fédération de Typologie, Paris)

The workshop is to be held the day before the Fourth Conference of the 
French Association of Cognitive Linguistics (AFLiCo IV) that will take place 
May 24-27, 2011.

The Trajectory Project is an ongoing research program which gathers a 
team of 19 academics and PhD students in France and 6 associated 
international scholars. Members of the Trajectory Project have worked in 
the spirit of a functional-cognitive typology, with the goal of analyzing the 
various linguistic strategies for the expression of Path ('Trajectoire'). The 
languages studied make up a sample of 34 languages belonging to 15 
families.

This one-day workshop aims at presenting the advances of the Trajectory 
Project to an external audience. It also intends to be an invitation to discuss 
the ins and outs of the construction of a typology of the expression of Path 
with others interested in such an exercise and working on typologically 
diverse languages. The workshop will be enhanced by the participation of 
special guest Yo Matsumoto, researcher well known for his work on the 
theme under discussion. He will share his approach to the question and 
lead the discussion of the presentations by the Trajectory Project members.

The tentative program includes presentations by members of the Trajectory
Project responsible for themes worked on by the group, such as:

- 'A working typology of the expression of Path' (Grinevald resp.)

- A typology of 'satellites' within a functional-typological framework (Imbert,
Söres & Grinevald resp.)

- 'A typology of constructions'; explorations beyond the satellite-/verb-
/equipollently-framed constructions proposed by Talmy and Slobin. (Fortis & 
Vittrant resp.)

- Asymmetries in the expression of Goal vs. Source in Motion events 
(Kopecka & Ishibashi resp.).

Attendance is free. However, people who wish to attend the meeting need 
to register with the organizing committee of the Trajectory Project 
Workshop: Jean-Michel Fortis, Caroline Imbert & Natalia Caceres.
