This conference aims to bring together scholars working on various
aspects of verb phrase structure in Slavic languages, with particular
attention to the nature of inner aspect and its relation to
grammatical/viewpoint aspect. We also seek to explore the syntactic
representation of elements contributing to aspectual composition and
predicate interpretation. While many studies—both in traditional and
formal frameworks—have addressed these issues, we believe several key
questions remain open from theoretical, typological, and experimental
perspectives.
These include but are not limited to:
- Inner aspect and types of eventualities as VP-level categories.
- Above VP: the functional contribution of little v and Asp to the
representation of inner vs. outer aspectual properties
- Argument realization and event composition
- The complex/simple event dichotomy and the syntactic representation
of telicity.
- The syntax of scalar and non-scalar predicates.
Invited Speakers:
- Boban Arsenijević (University of Graz)
- Hana Filip (Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf)
- Ora Matushansky (CNRS, Paris)
- Gillian Ramchand (Oxford University)
