Shared Grammaticalization in the Transeurasian Languages 

Date: 21-Sep-2011 - 23-Sep-2011 
Location: Leuven, Belgium 
Contact: Martine Robbeets 
Contact Email: martine_robbeets at hotmail.com 
Meeting URL: http://www.arts.kuleuven.be/gramm/ 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Morphology; 
Typology 

Meeting Description: 

Shared grammaticalization refers to the state whereby two or more 
languages have the input and the output of a grammaticalization process in 
common. The shared grammaticalization may have arisen independently in 
each of them by universal principles of grammatical change, it may have 
been induced by language contact, or it may have been inherited, either 
from the ancestral language, when the languages were one and the same 
or through 'parallel drift', after the languages were disconnected. The 
approaches taken by the speakers will be either theoretical, reflecting upon 
shared grammaticalization in a cross-linguistic sample of languages, or 
experimental, investigating shared grammaticalization between two or more 
Transeurasian languages or between a Transeurasian language and 
unrelated languages.We use Transeurasian in reference to a large group of 
geographically adjacent languages, traditionally known as "Altaic". They 
share a significant number of linguistic properties and include at most five 
different linguistic families: Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic and 
Turkic. The goal of the workshop is to shed light on instances of shared 
grammaticalization and the factors triggering them, with a special focus on 
the Transeurasian languages.

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-

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!
