Meeting Description: 

This is the second announcement of the international workshop on 'Partitivity
and Language Contact', taking place at the University of Zurich, Switzerland
on November 25-26, 2016. The workshop is dedicated to a broad investigation
into the different means used for encoding partitivity and related notions
such as quantification, marking the mass-count distinction etc., and their
potential coming into being enhanced by language contact, between neighboring
varieties as well as between standard and dialectal varieties. Overall, the
workshop seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the syntax and
semantics of nominal and pronominal partitivity markers in a wide range of
languages (German, German dialects, Dutch, Luxemburgish, Italian, Italian
dialects, Ladin, Sardinian, French, Catalan, Russian, Russian dialects, Molise
Slavic, Breton, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian) - both from a formal and
typological perspective.

please feel free to contact either Prof. Elisabeth Stark (estark at rom.uzh.ch)
