"(In)transitivity and its Variation" workshop, founded by SLE Joint
initiatives research grant 2026, will be held in Poznań (Poland) on
28-29 September 2026. This workshop aims to explore the interplay of
semantics, morphology, and syntax in encoding (in)transitivity,
investigating the functional motivations underlying valency patterns
across diverse language families.
We welcome contributions dealing with (but not restricted to) the
following topics:
- Transitivity prominence especially of understudied languages;
- Mismatches between semantic and syntactic transitivity;
- Morphological and syntactic marking of valency alternations
(causatives, anticausatives, reflexives, labile verbs);
- Formal syncretism of valency alternations or divergent encodings for
the same valency alternations;
- Semantic restrictions on valency operations (agentivity, telicity,
affectedness, etc.);
- Diachronic changes in the domain of (in)transitivity;
- Split Intransitivity encoding;
- (In)transitivity surfacing in nominalizations, and eventual
mismatches.
Organizing committee: Tania Ahmad (A. Mickiewicz University), Sander
van Hes (A. Mickiewicz University), Henrik Hornecker (Humboldt
University), Diego Luinetti (G. Marconi University), Leonardo Montesi
