Meeting Description :
PARTE (PARTititvity in European languages) is a network of 9 research teams of theoretical linguists, dialectologists, sociolinguists, typologists, historical linguists and applied linguists. It is funded by NWO (the Netherlands Organization for scientific research) and co-funded by the Universities of Zurich, Venice, Budapest and Pavia.
Research Aims :
Although the interest in the concept of partitivity has continuously increased in the last decades and has given rise to considerable advances in research, Partitive Elements (PE), which are typologically marked, display a fine-grained morpho-syntactic and semantic variation across European languages, a variation that is far from being described, let alone understood. The main obstacle to this is the fact that, up to now, PEs have been analysed only in restricted linguistic environments, and in general only for one language/variety, without a pan-European perspective.
The goal is to work on this phenomenon in a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, studying the emergence and spread of markers of partitivity, the theoretical analysis of these elements (articles pronouns, cases), and the strong affectedness of these elements by language contact (change or loss).
Call for Papers :
The first workshop of the PARTE Network will be held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
It will focus on Partitive Determiners and Partitive Case in European languages and dialects, their acquisition, their behavior under language contact, their emergence and spread in the diachrony, the best methods of data gathering and annotation, theoretical analyses of their syntax and interpretation in a cross-theoretic perspective.
We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts, in PDF format, for 20+10 min presentations at https://easychair.org/cfp/PARTE_WORKSHOP_1
Abtracts should be no longer than 2 pages, should be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt, single spacing but should not include the author’s name or any other identifying information. Network members are welcome to submit.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by Oct 5.
