Meeting Description:

PARTE (PARTititvity in European languages) is a network of 9 research teams of
theoretical linguists, dialectologists, sociolinguists, typologists,
historical linguists and applied linguists. It is funded by NWO (the
Netherlands Organization for scientific research) and co-funded by the
Universities of Zurich, Venice, Budapest and Pavia.

Research Aims:
Although the interest in the concept of partitivity has continuously increased
in the last decades and has given rise to considerable advances in research,
Partitive Elements (PE), which are typologically marked, display a
fine-grained morpho-syntactic and semantic variation across European
languages, a variation that is far from being described, let alone understood.
The main obstacle to this is the fact that, up to now, PEs have been analysed
only in restricted linguistic environments, and in general only for one
language/variety, without a pan-European perspective.

The goal is to work on this phenomenon in a comparative and interdisciplinary
perspective, studying the emergence and spread of markers of partitivity, the
theoretical analysis of these elements (articles pronouns, cases), and the
strong affectedness of these elements by language contact (change or loss).


Call for Papers:

The first workshop of the PARTE Network will be held at Ca' Foscari University
of Venice. 

It will focus on Partitive Determiners and Partitive Case in European
languages and dialects, their acquisition, their behavior under language
contact, their emergence and spread in the diachrony, the best methods of data
gathering and annotation, theoretical analyses of their syntax and
interpretation in a cross-theoretic perspective.

We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts, in PDF format, for 20+10 min
presentations at https://easychair.org/cfp/PARTE_WORKSHOP_1 

Abtracts should be no longer than 2 pages, should be written in Times New
Roman, 12 pt, single spacing but should not include the author's name or any
other identifying information. Network members are welcome to submit.

Notification of acceptance will be sent by Oct 5.
