What: Classifiers are a characteristic feature of many Arawakan languages. These morphemes categorize referents based primarily on their physical properties such as shape or consistency. Numerous Arawakan languages exhibit a complex system of multi-loci and multifunctional classifiers. The talks during the workshop will explore these classifier systems from various perspectives, covering both the language family as a whole and specific Arawakan languages.

When: Monday, 9 September 2024, 09:40-17:00 CET

Where: Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Lyon, salle Elise Rivet & online

How: The one-day workshop is designed to bring together researchers who are presently working on classifier systems in the Arawakan language family and to encourage open discussions about the topic.

Interested people outside of Lyon are welcome to listen to the talks and join the discussions online. Registration is free, but compulsory to receive the videoconference links. Please find the detailed program with the workshop schedule, constantly updated information and the registration link here.
