Meeting Description:

The JENom workshop series was initiated in France, which explains the French
acronym JENom from Journées d'Études sur les Nominalisations. The first eight
editions took place in Nancy, Lille, Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Verona, and
Fribourg. Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic the 9th edition of the
workshop will be held online and will be jointly organized by the John Paul II
Catholic University of Lublin and the University of Silesia, Poland.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers representing
different theoretical paradigms and discuss most recent developments in the
area of nominalizations with special emphasis on their interactions with
inflection and compounding. 

Mixed behaviour of action nominals situates them on a cline between purely
non-finite categories such as infinitives and gerunds, on the one hand, and
referential nominals, on the other. The link with non-finite categories is
further strengthened by the same morphological marking. Despite extensive
research and robust literature following the publication of Grimshaw’s (1990)
seminal monograph, basic distinctions remain far from settled and the nature
of the verb to noun category switch is not yet fully understood (e.g.
Rozwadowska 1997, 2017, Alexiadou 2001, 2010ab, Borer 2013, Alexiadou and
Borer 2020, Harley 2009, Roeper 2005). Contentious issues include the
close-knit structural relationship between the presence of the AspP projection
and the internal argument licensing (Borer 2005, Alexiadou 2017, Bloch-Trojnar
2020), Argument structure/Aspect realization in relation to overt
morphological marking (Cetnarowska 1993), Complex Event Nominals’ (in)ability
to pluralize (Alexiadou, Iordăchioaia and Soare 2010) and their semantic
interpretation (Malicka-Kleparska 1988, Melloni 2011, Grimm and McNally 2015,
Wood 2020). 

The presence of aspectual projections and the argument supporting nature of
nominalizations in synthetic compounds still remains an understudied area
(Borer 2012, 2013, Alexiadou 2017, Iordăchioaia 2019). There is no universal
definition of synthetic compounding (Lieber and Štekauer 2009) and there is no
agreement regarding the head of the structure (Lieber 1983, Lieber 2004). It
would be interesting to establish cross-linguistic tendencies in synthetic
compound noun formation and interpretation also in comparison with synthetic
compound structures headed by participles/deverbal adjectives and root
compounds (ten Hacken 2016, Cetnarowska 2019). 

Invited Speakers:
Pius ten Hacken (Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck)
Chiara Melloni (Università di Verona)
Jim Wood (Yale University)

Organizers: 
Maria Bloch-Trojnar (U. Lublin)
Bożena Cetnarowska (U. Silesia)
Anna Malicka-Kleparska (U. Lublin)

Call for Papers: 

It is the tradition of the workshop that papers relating to any aspect of
nominalizations are welcome. We invite contributions concerning deadjectival
nominalizations, nominalizations of stative verbs and other types of  deverbal
nominals with reference to such issues as the presence of event implications,
gradient categorial behaviour, polysemy, affix homonymy/ polyfunctionality,
productivity and paradigmatic organization.  

The abovementioned issues can be considered from different angles including
the syntax-based neo-constructional approach, the constructionist vantage
point as well as the lexicalist perspective. We also invite data-oriented
contributions from computational, experimental and diachronic studies on
various languages.

Each talk will receive 30 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion. Abstracts should be anonymous and should not exceed 2 pages in
length (A4 or letter-size), in 12 pt. font, with 1-inch/2,5-cm margins,
including examples and references.

Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2021
