Meeting Description:

CRISSP is proud to present the eleventh installment of the Brussels Conference
on Generative Linguistics (BCGL), devoted to the syntax and semantics of
aspect. 

BCGL 11: The Syntax and Semantics of Aspect
Brussels, December 10-11, 2018

We are pleased to announce that the following invited speakers have agreed to
give a talk at BCGL 11:

Berit Gehrke (Humboldt Universität, Berlin)
Roumyana Pancheva (University of Southern California)
Gillian Ramchand (The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø)

Workshop Description:

The properties and representations of aspect have been studied extensively
from both syntactic and semantic perspectives, as well as their interfaces. As
for the syntax, a central question is how aspectual notions such as telicity,
duration, cause and change are represented in syntax. Approaches range from
the minimalist structure of Erteschik-shir & Rapoport (2005), to a more
fine-grained functional structure as proposed by Ramchand (2008), or with a
clear differentiation between outer (external, presentational) and inner
(internal, Aktionsart) aspect, as proposed by Travis (2010). The semantics of
aspect has also been widely studied. As in the syntax, a distinction is often
made between outer and inner aspect, with tense scoping over grammatical
(outer) aspect, and grammatical aspect scoping over aspectual class (inner
aspect). This layered structure makes it possible to investigate
(cross-linguistic variation in) the interaction between the lexical features
of the verb, the semantics of the predicate-argument structure, the expression
of progressive and perfective/imperfective aspect, and other elements in the
sentence which can carry aspectual information (e.g. certain adverbs/adverbial
phrases, negation). The aim of this workshop is to explore these and related
issues.

The submission deadline for abstracts is September 15, 2018.
