Meeting Description:

One-to-Many Relations in Morphology, Syntax, and Semantics

Workshop at DGfS 2018, 7-9 March 2018, Stuttgart

Organiser: Berthold Crysmann (CNRS, Paris)

Invited speakers:

Andrew Spencer (U Essex)
Hedde Zeijlstra (U Göttingen)

Aims and background:

The standard view of the form-meaning interfaces, as embraced by the great
majority of contemporary grammatical frameworks, consists in the assumption
that meaning can be associated with grammatical form in a one-to-one
correspondence. Under this view, composition is quite straightforward,
involving concatenation of form, paired with functional application in
meaning. The workshop aims at highlighting linguistic phenomena across several
grammatical sub-modules (morphology, syntax, semantics) that apparently pose a
problem for the standard view. The relevant phenomena include fusion as well
as multiple and overlapping exponence and are, in different disguise, present
at all levels of grammar. Such one-to-many (or many-to-many) relations
manifest themselves, e.g., in inflectional paradigms, in periphrastic
constructions, in complex predicate formation, with resumption, in semantic
concord phenomena, and in polyadic quantification. Formal accounts of such
phenomena attempt to model them (i) as 1-to-1 relations by imposing additional
structure, (ii) as essentially holistic phenomena, or (iii) by means of
decomposition, combining constructional and compositional views. The workshop
has two main aims: First, to foster awareness of the ubiquity of one-to-many
relations and, consequently, to re assess them as an essential property of
natural language grammar. Second, to evaluate the analytic tools developed for
handling them for their adequacy and scalability across the modules of
grammar.

Call for Papers:

Deadline for submission: 1 August 2017

Contributions should present detailed studies of exemplary phenomena
of one-to-many relations with an empirical or formal emphasis,
addressing questions such as: Which grammatical frameworks are
particularly apt to accommodate deviations from one-to-many relations?
How to extract relevant generalizations over holistic one-to-many and
many-to-many relations? What are the differences and similarities of
one-to-many relations throughout the modules of grammar?

We aim at having scientific debates across subdisciplines and
frameworks and are interested in an empirically grounded,
theoretically oriented fruitful exchange of ideas and problems,
ideally of course including explicit analyses.

Important dates:

- 7 June 2017: Easychair opens for submissions

- 1 August 2017: deadline for submissions

- 15 September: notification of acceptance

Submission:

We accept one page abstracts, describing original research on the
topic. Submissions must be strictly anonymous. We use Easychair to
organise the anonymous review process, so please submit your
contribution to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=onetomanydgfs2018
