The International Workshop on Secondary Predication 2021
Meeting Dates: 30 October-31 October, 2021
Meeting URL: https://sites.google.com/view/iwsp2021/home?authuser=0
Meeting Description:
Predication is the backbone of natural-language syntax and semantics. Secondary predication comes in a wide variety of forms. Early research in theoretical linguistics shows a strong tendency to represent all forms of secondary predication uniformly. It has become clear in more recent years that generalizations covering the entire spectrum of secondary predication constructions (including epistemic constructions, depictives, and resultatives) are less straightforward than previously thought, and that detailed investigation of the various subtypes, in both verbal and nominal environments, is of the essence in building a solid understanding of secondary predication. In this workshop, researchers from all over the world share their expertise, raise issues on various aspects of secondary predication, and provide solutions from new perspectives by looking into the details of the facts regarding secondary predication in the target language(s) of investigation, and/or through cross-linguistic comparisons with other related or unrelated languages.
This workshop will be a hybrid meeting (online + physical conference).
Advance registration is required. (No registration fee)
