Meeting Description:

The ANR "Prefab" project within which this workshop is organized, aims
to propose a model of prefabricated patterns in interactions. These
prefabricated patterns in interactions have begun to be studied by a
growing number of authors (for example, among others Fonagy, 1997;
Bardovi-Halvig, 2012; Aijmer 2014; Blanco Escoda & Mejri, 2018;
Kauffer, 2019; Tutin, 2019). They are used for various functions, such
as the following (non-exhaustive list):
- Greeting (have a nice day) or thanking (you're welcome)
- Formulating agreement (it works) or disagreement (in your dreams!)
- Commenting on speech (how shall I put it) or regulating it (you see)
- Express an emotion or an assessment (it’s a mess).
- Etc.
In this project, we hypothesize that these prefabricated sentences
correspond to recurrent lexico-syntactic patterns that can be modeled
as parts of a “constructicon”. The study will be based on a variety of
interactional corpora (spoken and written interactions, novel
dialogues).
The workshop will involve the participation of two specialists in
these fields: Carmen Mellado Blanco (University of Santiago de
Compostela) and Alexander Ziem (University of Düsseldorf)

Call for Papers:

In recent years, the perception of phraseology has undergone
considerable change. On the one hand, the objects of phraseology have
been greatly expanded, moving beyond the discipline’s traditional
objects such as idioms or proverbs towards observables more closely
related to usage such as collocations, defined as privileged binary
associations, or discourse patterns, considered as recurrent
lexico-syntactic configurations with a specific discourse function
(for example, Legallois & Tutin, 2013; Kauffer & Keromnes, 2022). On
the other hand, constructional approaches have largely contributed to
showing that polylexical expressions, far from being anomalies,
responded to regular patterns and
were part of a continuum ranging from completely lexicalized
expressions to more abstract patterns of constructions (Fillmore et
al. 1988 ; Booij, 2002 ; Goldberg, 2006). In particular,
constructional phrasemes, defined as structure-meaning associations
involving fixed and variable elements, are particularly interesting
from this perspective (e.g. Dobrovol'skij, 2020; Mellado Blanco
(2021). For example, a pattern like C’est le N (“it is the N’) to
express the evaluation of a situation in an interactional context will
be particularly productive (c’est le bordel, c’est la cata, c’est la
honte ...’ what a mess, that’s a shame’). We can thus suggest a
productive schema associated with this specific semantic-pragmatic
function. Constructicon approaches providing systematic descriptions
of these lexico-syntactic phenomena within the framework of frame
semantics also appear to be particularly appealing models (Fillmore et
al. 2012; Lyngfelt et al. 2018; Ziem, 2018).
However, although phraseological studies based on constructional
approaches are growing in several European languages (e.g. German,
English, Spanish and Russian), few studies have yet been carried out
from this perspective in French. Yet constructional approaches seem
particularly well adapted to analyse phenomena linked to pragmatic
phraseology.
The ANR Prefab project, which the workshop is a part of, aims to
propose a model of prefabricated patterns in interactions. These
prefabricated patterns in interactions have begun to be studied by a
growing number of authors (for example, among others Fonagy, 1997;
Bardovi-Halvig, 2012; Aijmer 2014; Blanco Escoda & Mejri, 2018;
Kauffer, 2019; Tutin, 2019). They are used for various functions, such
as the following (non-exhaustive list):

- Express an emotion or an assessment (it’s a mess).

Submission procedures
This workshop will address a range of themes combining phraseological
phenomena and constructional approaches, without restriction to a
specific language or type of multiword-expression. The following
themes will be addressed:
- Theoretical approaches to the development of models to account for
different phraseological phenomena;
- Methodological approaches to corpus-based processing of
phraseological phenomena;
- Lexicographic approaches to the description of phraseological
phenomena;
- Contrastive approaches between languages;
- Didactic approaches to constructional models;
Applicants interested in submitting a paper should send a 1000-word
abstract in French or English to yvon.keromnes at univ-lorraine.fr and
agnes.tutin at univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
