Control Verbs in Cross-Linguistic Perspective

Linguistic Sub-field: Typology 
Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2004

Meeting Description:

The workshop will address possible structures of complement control
(e.g. the role of the instantiated structures of subordination) and
the various syntactic and semantic classes of control verbs in
cross-linguistic comparison. Most research on control verbs (formerly
'equi-deletion' verbs, e.g. try, persuade or promise) has focused on a
few Indoeuropean languages, especially those in which the control verb
embeds an infinitival clause with a non-overt subject. There is less
research on control verbs in languages that make use of different
structures of subordination (e.g. nominalizations, serial verb
constructions, verb incorporation, switch-reference systems). That
control verbs pattern as several distinct classes (subject vs. object
control, availability of control shift from subject to object control
or vice versa, exhaustive vs. partial control, effects of clause union
etc.) has been acknowledged by many theories to some extent, although
the various classes of control verbs and their properties have not
been studied in detail for most languages. There is still a strong
need for a cross-linguistic comparison of control verb classes and a
cross-linguistic study of the interaction between lexicon and grammar
regarding control verbs.

The project Typology of control verbs will host a workshop on control
verbs in cross-linguistic perspective. We welcome abstracts for papers
that discuss the lexical and syntactic properties of control verbs and
the role of the grammar with respect to possible structures of
complement control. We especially invite papers that deal with control
verbs in Non-Indoeuropean languages or less-documented Indoeuropean
languages or that focus on subordination structures different from
infinitival complements. We also invite papers that show the
diachronic development of particular control verbs (including papers
that deal with the emergence of control verbs in Creole
languages). The data can be presented in any framework. Note, however,
that we favor papers that broaden the empirical basis for the research
on control verbs and do not only focus on a theory-internal
problem/question.

Our project has developed a questionnaire for control verbs, which
gives you an idea of our (semantic) definition of control verbs and
the research questions we are interested in (see meeting URL); this
questionnaire may guide your presentation.

Please send your abstract as PDF or RTF document (font size 12 pt,
maximally 2 pages including examples) to the contact email address.
