Call for Papers:
As a sequel to the successful International Workshop on the Syntax of
Predication and Modification 2024, the HUN-REN Hungarian Research
Centre for Linguistics will host the 2nd International Workshop on the
Syntax of Predication and Modification (IWSPM2025) in Budapest,
Hungary, on 1–2 September 2025. IWSPM2025 will be an in-person-only
event. Like its predecessor, this workshop seeks to foster fruitful
dialogue between researchers through syntactic analyses of
construction types involving predication and modification, from a wide
range of languages and analytical perspectives.
Questions Central to the Workshop
 – What are the syntactic configurations for predication and
modification?
 – Can the syntactic configurations for predication and modification
be unified? If not, what is it that necessitates syntactic
differentiation between predication and modification?
 – Is there synchronic cross-linguistic variation in the syntax of
predication and modification? If so, what is this syntactic variation
rooted in?
 – Is there a diachronic evolution of the syntax of predication and
modification? If so, what has enabled the syntax of predication and
modification to evolve in this way/these ways?
Keynote Speakers
 – senior invited speaker: Hideki Kishimoto (Kobe University, Japan)
 – junior invited speaker: Andrea Szávó (University of Debrecen,
Hungary)
Call for Papers
For IWSPM2025, we invite submissions of abstracts for 25-minute
presentations (followed by 10-minute discussion) on any topic in the
syntax of predication and modification and/or its interface with
semantics. We especially welcome submissions addressing questions from
a formal syntactic perspective. Abstracts should not identify the
author, and may not exceed two pages (A4 with 2.5 cm margins or US
letter with 1 inch margins on all sides), including examples,
references and tables/figures. Fonts should be no smaller than
12-point Times New Roman. The top of the first page should include the
title of the paper and, on a separate text line, up to 5 keywords.
Abstracts should be submitted in PDF via the workshop E-mail address:
iwspm2025 at nytud.hun-ren.hu.
