Meeting Description:

The study of nominalizations has represented one of the main topics in
modern linguistic research starting at least as early as in Lees
(1960), Vendler (1968) and Lakoff (1970). Especially after Chomsky
(1970), nominalizations have formed the grounds for the split between
lexicalist and syntactic approaches to morphology with many
implications for the ongoing debate about the organization of a theory
of language and the place morphology and the lexicon occupy in it.
Besides generative linguistics in the Chomskyan tradition, the special
categorial status of nominalizations has also figured prominently in
lexicalist (e.g., Tribout 2010, Bloch-Trojnar 2013, HPSG in Malouf
2000, LFG in Lowe 2020) and functionalist (Koptjevskaja-Tamm 1993,
Heyvaert 2003) theories of language. In the generative literature,
Grimshaw’s (1990) seminal work highlighting the argument structural
properties of nominalizations laid the theoretical foundations for
much of the debate over the past few decades as in Marantz (1997),
Alexiadou (2001), Harley & Noyer (2000), van Hout & Roeper (1998), and
also later work as in monographs such as Borer (2013) and Lieber
(2016) or contributions to edited volumes (Iordăchioaia, Roy &
Takamine 2013, Paul 2014, Cuyckens, Heyvaert & Hartmann 2019,
Alexiadou & Borer 2020, Iordăchioaia & Soare 2020).

Topics on nominalizations concerning argument structure realization,
polysemy, reference, nominalization and natural language ontology,
categorization and the status of nominalizers, suffix
polyfunctionality, suffix competition, mixed categorial properties,
functional structure at the interfaces between phonology, morphology,
syntax and (lexical) semantics and many others have remained as actual
as ever and have more recently incited for further inter-framework
discussion especially from a more data-oriented perspective: see
experimental approaches in Schirakowski (2020, 2021a, 2021b) and
Gulgowski et al. (2021), as well as data-oriented, corpus-based and
computational studies such as Varvara (2017), Lapesa et al. (2018),
Varvara et al. (2021), Salvadori & Huyghe (2022), Varvara et al.
(2022), Kawaletz (2023) and Lara Clares (2023). These works also bring
us back to the original discussion on natural language ontology in
nominalizations (see McNally & Grimm 2015, 2016, 2022 and Huang 2024).

Special Theme on Mixed Categories

To allow for a broader discussion on categorial shift in morphology
and its interfaces, this year’s edition of JENom proposes a special
theme on mixed categories, which will be integrated with the general
theme of nominalizations.

While ‘mixed categories’ is a term that automatically sends one to
nominalizations in the tradition of Chomsky (1970) and the seminal
work by Borsley & Kornfilt (2001), in this edition of JENom we aim to
also integrate contributions on non-nominal mixed categories, which
may bring new light into how a theory of grammar needs to be designed
to accommodate mixed categories in general and to account for mixed
nominalizations as a special case. The typical mixed categories are
represented by non-finite (e.g. participial, gerundive and
infinitival) constructions (Abney 1987, Pires 2006, Alexiadou &
Anagnostopoulou 2008, Alexiadou et al. 2014, Panagiotidis 2014, Borik
& Gehrke 2019, a.o.) but we are looking forward to any further
empirical phenomena that could be viewed as mixed categories (see
Nikolaeva & Spencer 2019).

Studies on nominalizations as well as mixed categories (i.e. on their
own or in comparison to nominalizations) are welcome to this eleventh
edition of the JENom workshop. We invite contributions with a
descriptive, theoretical, computational, or experimental focus on
various languages and from different theoretical frameworks.

Call for Papers:

The JENom workshop series aims to bring together researchers who are
interested in the morphology, syntax, and semantics of
nominalizations. Previous editions have been held in Nancy, Lille,
Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Verona, Fribourg, Lublin, and Nantes.
This year, JENom 11 will take place in Graz (Austria) on July 3-4,
2025, and is organized by the Institute of Linguistics at the
University of Graz.

JENom was initially dedicated to the study of argument structure and
aspectual properties of deverbal nominalizations from a generative
perspective. Recent editions significantly broadened both the
empirical and the theoretical focus of the workshop so as to include a
larger variety of related topics and constructs approached from
different theoretical angles and with various research methods. JENom
11 will continue along these lines. We invite submissions on any
aspect of the study of nominalizations, which may be cast in any
theoretical framework. As a special topic this year, we particularly
welcome submissions that consider the issue of mixed categories as
illustrated by participles, gerunds, infinitives or other empirical
phenomena that could be regarded as involving mixed categories.

Each talk will be allotted 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 12pt font, with 1-inch/2,5-cm
margins, including examples and references. The deadline for
submissions is March 1, 2025, 23:59 CET.
