Meeting Description:

The Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
announces the conference “Cases in Uralic, Altaic and Paleo-Asiatic
languages”. The conference will take place at the Institute for Linguistic
Studies (St. Petersburg, Tuchkov per., 9), on October 21-23, 2021. 

Case is a grammatical category of nominal and pronominal parts of speech as
well as verbal forms with nominal morphology (participle, infinitives and
others). Cases mark syntactic and/or semantic role of a word in sentence. In
many languages, case has functions that go beyond default ones. In some
languages, case can express meanings from the Tense-Aspect-Modality zone or it
can reflect pragmatic meanings, etc.

The goal of the conference: to analyze a wide range of case functions in
Uralic, Altaic and Paleo-Asiatic languages.

Here is a tentative list of topics that will be studied at the conference:
- Case systems.
- Diachronical changes in evolution of the case system.
- Semantic and syntactic case roles:
basic syntactic and semantic roles;
main and peripheral syntactic cases;
case and agreement;
paradigmatic classes;
case and government;
case as a marker of a syntactically independent noun;
double case marking;
marking of the syntactic head’s role;
case and location;
distinction between case and derivation;
interaction of case with other nominal categories.
- Non-canonical case functions:
case and Tense-Aspect-Modality;
case and pragmatics;
vocative case
