Meeting Description:

This conference is aimed primarily at studying the use of verb inflectional
classes (so-called “tiroirs verbaux”, Damourette & Pichon) in the novel The
Stranger (L’Etranger) by Albert Camus, in particular the narrative use of the
French passé composé (“compound past”), but also of the imperfect and
pluperfect, in a monolingual comparative approach, but also from a contrastive
cross-linguistic perspective, comparing the aspectual-temporal forms used by
other languages in the published translations of the novel. The purpose of the
conference will be thus to throw light on the TAME systems of languages as
typologically diverse as possible, and to do so with a single “small” 
authentic literary corpus of mid-twentieth century French. All theoretical
approaches of linguistic investigation are welcome – formal theories
(generative grammar, formal semantics, lexicalist-driven theories) as well as
usage-based theories (cognitive, functionalist, construction,
utterer-centered, approaches).

2nd Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts in the areas of linguistics and translation
studies, on the following topics:

- The equivalents of “verb inflectional classes” (tense, aspect, modal and
evidential systems) in the translations of the novel, in typologically
unrelated languages.
- The study of time relations, the structure of sentences and the lexicon, the
use of temporal –aspectual adverbials, in the source or target language(s).
- From a more literary perspective, the problematic, almost static, time
structure of the novel, that accounts for the peculiarity of its narrative
form.
 
Proposals (20 mns + 10mns for questions) should be submitted via
Sciencesconf.org by May 1, 2017, on https://etranger-tame.sciencesconf.org/

as indicated above.
