Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Typology 

Call Deadline: 15-Dec-2010 

Meeting Description:

The workshop is part of the EuroBABEL project on Referential Hierarchies 
in Morphosyntax. It aims at bringing together language(-family) specialists 
and typologists. There will be key note addresses by Dr. Andrej Malchukov 
(Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig) and Professor 
Beth Levin (Stanford University).

Papers should focus on the effects of referential factors - such as animacy, 
information structure, definiteness, anaphoricity (pronoun vs. noun), person, 
and number - on the expression of three-participant events in one or more 
languages. These effects may target word order, agreement marking, 
direction marking, case/adpositional marking, and may involve various types 
of splits and alternations.

Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
- Three-participant constructions that deviate from the prototypical 'give'  
type, in terms of the referential properties of the participants and/or in terms 
of the lexical verb(s);
- The interaction between the referential properties of  multiple (i.e. two or 
three) participants;
- The interaction between the effects of referential properties of participants 
on the one hand, and lexical semantics of verb classes or individual verbs 
on the other hand;
- The relationship between the effects of referential factors on intransitive 
and transitive constructions on the one hand, and on ditransitive 
constructions on the other hand;
- Differences between the effects of referential factors on different types of 
marking: word order, agreement, direction marking, and/or case and 
adpositional marking;
- Referential effects in derived three-participant constructions (as opposed 
to non-derived ones);
- Frequency data obtained from corpora of spoken and/or written language;
- The effects of language contact and language change on the above 
phenomena.
