Meeting Description:

The Ars Grammatica 2018 workshop at the Institute for the German Language
(IDS) in Mannheim, Germany, is concerned with cross-linguistic variation in
the realization of propositional/state-of-affairs arguments understood in a
broad sense, i.e. arguments that describe events, propositions, situations and
are realized as complement clauses, infinitival, gerundive or nominalized
complements.

The main aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers who work on
varitation within and between languages with respect to the realisation of
SoA-arguments and who are concerned with the empirical investigation,
theoretical analysis, methodological approaches and/or with the specific
challenges of contrastive grammar writing.

Invited speakers:

Manfred Krifka (ZAS Berlin / HU Berlin)
Christiane von Stutterheim (Universität Heidelberg)
Susi Wurmbrand (UConn / Universität Wien)

Conference languages are German and English.


Call for Papers:

We invite the submission of abstracts which can contribute to one or more of
the following questions:

1. Empirical description: Which formal means do individual languages/language
groups use for realizing SoA-arguments? Which role does the inventory of means
to realize SoA arguments play for the conceptualization of these arguments?
Which systematic correlations and differences do we find in cross-linguistic
variation?

2. Theoretical approaches: How should the variation be theoretically modeled?
What predictions of possible and impossible variation do different analyses of
the variation make?

3. Methodological issues: Which empirical methods are best used for
cross-linguistic research? What kinds of resources are necessary to make the
analysis of individual languages available for cross-linguistic comparison?

Submission guidelines:

Abstracts for single- or multi-authored proposals (25 min presentation + 15
min discussion) should be submitted electronically as .pdf sent by email to
arsgrammatica at ids-mannheim.de. Abstracts should not exceed one A4 page of text
(font size 12pt) with an additional page for references, graphs, tables;
