Meeting Description:

The Conference on Typology and Grammar for Young Scholars is held annually by
the Institute for Linguistic Studies RAS (Saint Petersburg, Russia).

We invite submissions from young researchers (under 35 years old) working in
all areas of linguistic typology and grammatical theory, whatever the material
and theoretical framework. We especially welcome talks on the problems of
linguistic typology, reports based on authors’ original field data, and
corpus-based studies.

The conference program includes two types of talks:

- keynote lectures
- talks by young scholars

Invited Speakers

- Johanna Nichols (University of California, Berkeley), “Basic event
structure: states and endpoints (with a first attempt at a corpus study)”
- Nikolai Vakhtin (European Institute at Saint Petersburg, Institute for
Linguistic Studies, Saint Petersburg), “Language attrition in polysynthetic
languages”
- Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University, Stockholm), “Specific and
non-specific perception verbs and lexical typology”

In addition, since the 10th anniversary conference, a special thematic session
has been organized each year within the conference program. In 2013, the theme
chosen for the section was grammaticalization, in 2014 it was agreement, and
in 2015, negation. This year, a thematic session on predicate-argument
structure is planned as a part of the conference schedule. We invite all
researchers working on problems related to this topic, regardless of language
material or theoretical framework.
