Call Deadline: 10-Nov-2024

Meeting Description:

The proposed workshop is intended as a forum for empirical research on
the various concepts used in the analysis of focus and
focus-sensitivity, including the notion of focus itself. Because the
workshop should provide the opportunity for a step back and for
questioning established notions, no theoretical background will be
privileged and theory-critical data-driven contributions are warmly
welcome, especially those addressing quirky phenomena that seem to
involve focus and yet challenge classical definitions of it.
Contributions on lesser-described languages and varieties are also
encouraged.

Details on the aims and scopes of the prospective workshop can be
found here on the workshop webpage
(https://minimamodalia.wordpress.com/2024/09/10/sle2025_ws_focus/) and
soon the SLE website.

Call for Abstracts:

Abstracts (max. 300 words, excluding references) should be sent to
Olivier Duplâtre (olivier-duplatre [AT] wanadoo.fr) and Pierre-Yves
Modicom (pymodicom.ling [AT] yahoo.fr) by November 10th in the evening
(CET).
