> Things, Places, and the Construct State
>
> Abstract. There is a well-trodden historical path by which nouns like
> "front" and "back" come to be adpositions. In the course of this category-
> changing journey they lose a certain kind of conceptual content, prosodic
> independence, and nominal syntax and gain the ability to take arguments and
> express locations and paths (cf. Longobardi on casa— >chez). The construct
> state possessive construction of Semitic languages has two of these
> properties : the loss of prosodic independence and the ability to take
> arguments. I discuss the role of the construct state in the development of
> nouns into prepositions.

> Scales, gradable adjectives and nominalizations in Serbian
>
> Abstract. An influential analysis of gradable adjectives by Kennedy (1999,
> 2007), Kennedy & McNally (2005) treats positive forms of gradable adjectives
> as syntactically complex. Ramchand (2006) assumes the same for a subset of
> gradable adjectives, namely those with relative standards of comparison, but
> argues that gradable adjectives with absolute standards are semantically and
> syntactically different. In this talk, I will confront these predictions
> (and others made by these approaches) with empirical facts from Serbian.
> Serbian provides a nice testing ground because, unlike in English, the
> positive forms of gradable adjectives are often morphologically complex. I
> will argue that the distinction between relative and absolute adjectives is
> morphologically coded in Serbian. We will then turn to some interesting
> facts regarding the form and interpretation of nominals derived from
> gradable adjectives. As we will see, investigating nominalization patterns
> might prove extremely significant in determining the true nature of
> adjectives, given that some adjectival suffixes are kept and some are lost
> when adjectives are nominalized.
