Meeting Description:

Short description of the workshop
This workshop aims to bring together scholars addressing topics
related to spatial (a)symmetries in the expression of motion events
(e.g., source- vs. goal-oriented motion, fast vs. slow motion, itive
vs. ventive orientation). Topics include but are not limited to:
- structural, semantic, and discursive manifestations of spatial
asymmetries in the expression of motion events;
- the relation between Slow vs. Fast motion and Source-oriented vs.
Goal-oriented motion in (i) the conflation of fine-grained semantic
components of Path and Manner in verbs, and (ii) the semantic
congruence and co-occurrences of Slow vs. Fast motion expressions and
Source vs. Goal expressions;
- the relation between deictic expressions, itive (centrifugal) vs.
ventive (centripetal) and Source-oriented vs. Goal-oriented motion in
terms of combinations and language use;
- diachronic changes in motion verb lexicon and/or grammatical
systems, specifically concerning the evolution of spatial
(a)symmetries over time and their interaction with various semantic
features linked to the description of space.

We invite submissions that investigate both well described and less
studied languages using different methods and data sources (e.g.,
field data, text and corpus-driven data; experimental and
stimulus-based data), and including spoken and/or written modality.

Call for papers
We invite abstracts of 300 words max. (including examples but not
references) that should be sent to the workshop organisers by November
15, 2023. If the workshop proposal is approved by the SLE Scientific
Committee, authors will be asked to submit revised full 500-word
abstracts to EasyChair for external evaluation by January 15, 2024.
