Subject: Notions of 'Feature' in Linguistic Theory: Cross-Theoretical and Cross-Linguistic Perspectives

 Full Title: Notions of 'Feature' in Linguistic Theory: Cross-Theoretical and Cross-Linguistic Perspectives 
Short Title: Features 

Date: 31-Aug-2016 - 03-Sep-2016

Contact Person: Lars Hellan

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 17-Nov-2015 

Meeting Description:

We think there is significant potential in furthering the cross-school understanding of 
analytic practices pertaining to the notion 'feature', and we therefore invite scholars across 
frameworks to present or discuss projects and research traditions from the viewpoint of the 
roles that features and feature representations play in them. Papers on issues in relation to 
the putatively pleiotropic features Tense, Case and Person are particularly encouraged, 
likewise presentations of the typological approaches mentioned; papers addressing 
semantic features are also very much welcome. In conclusion, we stress once more that 
the workshop topic is formulated intentionally broadly, since one of the goals of the 
workshop is methodological: to promote a dialogue between typologically minded scholars 
representing different research traditions.
