Meeting Description:

The workshop is based on a collaboration between the projects
“Morphosyntax in Discourse” of the LABEX Empirical Foundations in
Language in Paris (https://en.labex-efl.fr/) and “Prominence-related
structures in symmetrical voice systems and Papuan languages” of the
Collaborative Research Centre Prominence in Language in Cologne
(https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/). We hope to discover
operationalizable methods for identifying larger discourse units with
the help of semantic, lexical, grammatical and/or prosodic cues both
in well-studied and in more recently documented languages. We are
particularly interested in cues that so far have not been considered
as being discourse boundary related such as differential case marking,
specific voice constructions, etc. The workshop is meant as an
opportunity for researchers from different theoretical backgrounds and
with an expertise on typologically distinct languages to make further
progress in the analysis of discourse data.

We invite abstracts (max. 500 words plus abbreviation and reference
list) on topics including but not restricted to the following:

-       cues for unit boundaries
-       cues for cohesion within a unit
-       discourse units in different text genres
-       units in monologic vs. dialogic discourse
-       discourse structuring in spoken vs. written language
-       the role of reported speech for discourse structure
