[Ura-list] Workshop B.5 "Verbalization of motion events in Uralic" at CIFU14, Tartu, 18-23 August 2025

[Jeremy Bradley]

Dear colleagues,

We are still eagerly looking for and accepting submissions to our 
workshop pertaining to the verbalization of motion events at the coming 
congress. When people talk about motion (be it intransitive or 
transitive, i.e., moving oneself or moving something or someone) in a 
given language, how are the different semantic aspects (most 
prominently: manner - on foot, on wheels, swimming, flying; path - in, 
out, up, down) expressed and structured? Further details can be found at 
https://cifu14.ut.ee/symposium-b5/ <https://cifu14.ut.ee/symposium-b5/>.

Abstracts must be submitted by *30 September 2024* (see 
https://cifu14.ut.ee/2nd-circular/ <https://cifu14.ut.ee/2nd-circular/> 
concerning practicalities). Critically, we are eager to have 
*genealogical and methodological diversity* in our workshop, which is to 
say: If you are looking at languages often not centred in typological 
generalizations on Uralic (anything but Hungarian, Finnish, and 
Estonian, if we're honest), and/or are dealing with the topic at hand 
through a novel framework (also in regard to the "large" languages!), we 
will be eager to hear your talk. The intersection between the 
verbalization of motion events and other categories such as TAME marking 
is also highly relevant.

The workshop will conclude in a discussion on future research and 
publication ventures pertaining to the verbalization of motion events: 
what should be done to ensure an accessible description of this topic 
for the Uralic language family writ large?

All the best,
The organizers (Jeremy Bradley, Nikolett F. Gulyás, Johannes Hirvonen)
