[Slling-l] Deadline extension: Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics of Aspect Across Modalities (SSPAM)

[Fabian Bross]

Dear colleagues,

we would like to inform you about the upcoming workshop Syntax, 
Semantics, and Pragmatics of Aspect Across Modalities (SSPAM) in Batumi 
(Georgia) and the following call for papers:

Extended Call Deadline: 14-Apr-2019

Meeting Description:

It is commonly assumed in both semantics and syntax that there is a 
distinction between inner aspect (lexical or predicational aspect) and 
outer aspect (grammatical aspect) (e.g. Smith 1991/97; Cinque 1999; 
Travis 2010 for spoken languages; Bross 2018 for sign languages). Inner 
aspect pertains to the distinction between telic and atelic predicates 
at the level of the VP (the verb and its argument(s)), and the 
compositional derivation of telicity, going back to works by Verkuyl 
(1972) and Krifka (1989). Outer aspect, on the other hand, is concerned 
with, e.g., imperfective (IPF) and perfective (PF) verb forms that are 
associated with (im)perfective meanings in finite sentences (see, e.g., 
Klein 1994). At the same time both levels of aspect interact, with 
grammatical aspect commonly taken to operate on the level of inner 
aspect (see, e.g., de Swart 1998 for an early treatment of this 
interaction). The workshop ''Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics of Aspect 
Across Modalities'' wants to discuss recent advances in the research on 
inner and outer aspects and their interaction.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts on the semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of aspect 
in different languages and especially welcome contributions from sign 
language linguistics and gesture research, as well as from 
psycholinguistics (e.g., work on acquisition or on processing). 
Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages (A4, using a 12pt font) including 
references and examples. Anonymized abstracts should be sent to 
SSPAM2019 at googlemail.com no later than 14 April 2019.

The workshop will be part of the 13th International Tbilisi Symposium on 
Language, Logic and Computation, which will be held on 16-20 September 
2019 at Batumi, Georgia. The exact workshop dates will be announced 
soon; but we expect the workshop to take place on the first two days of 
the symposium.
