Workshop on Languages with and without articles 2013
The workshop will be held Feb 28 - March 1st 2013
Salle de conférences, 59 rue Pouchet 75017 Paris.
Invited speakers :
- Daniel Büring (Universität Wien)
- Östen Dahl (Stockholm)
Call deadline : November 25, 2012.
The workshop is organised by the project "Calcul de la référence nominale: langues avec et sans articles" of the Fédération Typologie et Universaux du Langage (CNRS FRE 2559) which aims to bring together researchers in
-- L1 and L2 language acquisition,
-- sign language linguistics and
-- comparative syntax and semantics.
We encourage submissions exploring the linguistic means used to establish the reference of a nominal expression, including, but not limited to, the following questions:
- what is the role of definite and indefinite articles in establishing the
reference of the DP?
- how are the effects of definite and indefinite articles achieved in
languages that lack those articles?
- what are the semantic distinctions involved in languages that
distinguish two distinct definite articles (see Ebert 1970, Löbner 1985
and much subsequent literature) or two indefinite articles (see von
Heusinger, Klaus & Klein, Udo (to appear) The Distribution of two
Indefinite Articles in Uzbek and references cited there)?
- what is the difference between definite and demonstrative determiners?
We welcome work on formal syntax and semantics, L1 and L2 acquisition of (in)definiteness in spoken and sign languages.
We invite submissions for 25-minute presentations (plus ten-minute
discussions).
Abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length (including examples and
references) written in French or English.
Abstracts must be anonymous and should be sent by e-mail (plain ASCII, rtf, ps or pdf) to : pcabredo //AT// univ-paris8.fr
Please write the (first) author's name plus the word 'abstract' in the
subject line of your message (e.g., 'Dupont abstract'), and include author name(s), affiliation, contact information and the title of the abstract in the body of the email. For co-authored papers indicate the email address that we should use for correspondence.
