Message 2: The Typology of Stative-Active Languages
Date: 16-Nov-2004
From: Mark Donohue <markdonohue.cc>
Subject: The Typology of Stative-Active Languages
Full Title: The Typology of Stative-Active Languages
Date: 20-May-2005 - 22-May-2005
Location: Leipzig, Germany
Contact Person: Claudia Büchel
Meeting Email: sa_confeva.mpg.de
Web Site: http://email.eva.mpg.de/~wichmann/as_gen.html
Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Language Description; Typology
Call Deadline: 01-Dec-2004
Meeting Description:
The aim of the conference is to explore similarities and differences among
stative-active (split intransitive, agent-patient, etc.) languages, for
instance with regard to phenomena related to argument structure. Both
language-specific and typologically oriented papers are welcomed.
This is the second call for papers for the conference ''The Typology of
Stative-Active Languages'', to be held at the Max Planck Institute in
Leipzig, Germany, from May 20 2005 to May 22 2005.
The aim of the conference is to explore similarities and differences
among languages of the 'stative-active' (or 'split intransitive',
'agent-patient', 'agentive', etc.) marking type. In particular we
welcome papers that address issues of argument structure and voice (or
other valency) related phenomena in such languages, areas where
stative-active languages are likely to show common behaviour distinct
from languages without stative-active morphology. Other phenomena that
are of the interest for the typology of stative-active languages are
not excluded, however. Our primary focus is on classic cases of
stative-active languages where an agentive S is encoded, through case
marking, verbal agreement, or both, in the same way as an A, and a
non-agentive S in the same way as a P. We do not, however, exclude other
cases, as long as the agentive vs. non-agentive distinction is a
pervasive feature of the grammar. Papers can be language-specific,
reporting on field research on individual stative-active languages, or
might directly address typological issues from a broader perspective.
The time allotted for presentation and discussion will be 20 minutes + 10
minutes discussion. English is the preferred language at the conference.
Invited speakers:
Johanna Nichols (U. California, Berkeley)
Marianne Mithun (U. California, Santa Barbara)
Marian Klamer (Leiden University)
Organisers:
Mark Donohue (National University of Singapore)
Søren Wichmann (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology)

Conference Coordinator:
Claudia Büchel
Abstracts:
Please send a one-page abstract to:
sa_confeva.mpg.de
Abstracts should arrive no later than December 1, 2004. The title of
the paper, the name(s) of the author(s), and one mailing address, with
telephone, fax, and email address as available, should be included in
the body of the email, and not be included on the abstract.
Authors will be notified of their acceptance by January 1, 2005.
Although our preference is for soft copies of the abstract we also
accept snail-mailed or faxed submissions. In case you choose the
latter form of submission please use the following address:
