Replicative Processes in Language 

Date: 08-Jul-2016 - 09-Jul-2016 
Location: Leipzig, Germany 
Contact: Jochen Trommer 
Contact Email: jtrommer at uni-leipzig.de 
Meeting URL: https://igra.philol.uni-leipzig.de/de/veranstaltungen/workshops/replicative-processes-in-language/ 

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Morphology; Phonology; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

Replicative processes play a central role in linguistic theory: In minimalist
syntax, the operation Agree (Chomsky 2000, 2001) is  the only basic
grammatical operation besides Merge. Reduplication data have been the central
motivation for the development of the correspondence-theoretic version of
Optimality Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1994, 1995). Beyond grammar,  linguistic
replication is  a central part of many poetic systems in the form of rhyme
(Kawahara 2007, Katz 2015), is a pervasive feature of  argots and secret
languages (Bagemihl 1988, Vogt 2012), and speakers in natural discourse
reproduce at many levels reproduce features characterizing the speech of their
interlocutors such as intonation (D’Imperio et al. 2014) and syntactic
construction type (Pickering & Garrod 2004). Language contact not only
involves borrowing of words and sounds, but also the adaptation of complex
syntactic and semantic representations in a ‘replica language’ replicating the
patterns of a ‘model language’ (Ross 2007, Francois 2011). 

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on
replication in highly different linguistic domains, to enhance our knowledge
of replicative phenomena, explore parallels, interactions and differences, and
to come closer to an understanding of the central abstract mechanisms
underlying replication in human language. Building and extending on our
earlier  workshop on “Replication in Grammar”  in September 2015
(https://igra.philol.uni-leipzig.de/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungsarchiv/repli
cative-processes-in-grammar/) the event will also cover many aspects of
replication in performance, language contact and diachronic change.  

Invited Speakers:

- Andrew Nevins (U College London)  
- Donca Steriade (MIT)
- Evangelia Adamou (LACITO, CNRS)
- Doug Pulleyblank (U of British Columbia)
- Hannah Sande (UC Berkeley) Hubert Haider (U Salzburg)
- Mariapaola D’Imperio (U Aix-Marseille) Richard Wiese (U Marburg)
- Steven Wechsler (U of Texas at Austin)

While we haven’t issued a call for papers, everyone who is interested is
welcome to attend the workshop.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and 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 Indiana University 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!
