Meeting Description:

The fifteenth Fachtagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft will be held at the
Institut für Sprachwissenschaft at the University of Vienna from 13-16
September 2016. The organizing theme of the workshop will be the root,
including the role that it plays in both the grammar of Proto-Indo-European
and in the daughter languages. The (Proto-) Indo-European root is formally and
semantically the basis of every (Proto-) Indo-European verbal and nominal
stem. Despite this prominence, the properties of roots have received
comparatively little in the way of detailed investigation. Our goal for this
Fachtagung is to fill this gap.


We welcome contributions that examine the role of the root in the grammatical
system of Proto-Indo-European and the daughter languages, investigations of
Indo-European root structure (and the constraints on root structure), as well
as discussions of root-extensions and investigations of the semantics of
individual roots.  The concept of the root is prominent also in theoretical
linguistics (as, for instance, in Distributed Morphology) and lexical
semantics.  We accordingly welcome abstracts that engage with questions raised
by theoretical models.

Participants interested in presenting are asked to send an abstract in
accordance with the conventional standards. Abstracts should be between a half
a page and maximally a page long.

Please send abstracts in PDF format as email attachments to the following
address:  ig2016.linguistics at univie.ac.at

Important Dates:

The submission deadline for abstracts is March 31 2016.
Notifications of acceptance/rejection will be sent out by 2 May 2016.
A provisional program will be published at the beginning of May 2016.
