Call for Papers:
Submission Deadline Reminder: May 31, 2025
We cordially invite proposals for paper presentations at the upcoming
conference on "Conditional Constructs across World Languages" hosted
by the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations
(INALCO) in Paris, October 29-31, 2025.
Submissions of abstracts that explore typological features of
conditional constructions in under-analyzed languages are especially
welcome. We encourage empirical analyses of linguistic data from any
theoretical school of thought that contribute to the establishment of
typological patterns of conditionals.
Submissions may encompass a comprehensive range of conditional
constructs, including but not limited to epistemic, wish, directive,
and commissive conditionals. Additionally, we welcome presentations
that examine empirical data from various linguistic systems, to foster
discussion of multiple theoretical concerns. These include the widely
debated Arsenic conditionals (Anderson, 1951), Biscuit conditionals
(Austin, 1956), and X-marking (von Fintel & Iatridou, 2023). This
knowledge will enable us to understand whether these hotly debated
topics have any relevance in languages other than European ones or
whether they are typically discursive devices and attested primarily
in languages such as English.
