It is organized by the project 'Distributive dependencies: nominal and verbal plurality' (CNRS, Fédération TUL). This project explores the parallels and interactions between the nominal and the verbal domain by targeting a wide semantic category, plurality, and its morpho-syntactic manifestations across languages. All contributions on morphological, syntactic, and semantic aspects of plurality are welcome. We particularly encourage contributions exploring the expressions of event plurality and their interaction with argument plurality (reciprocals, distributivity, 'pluractionals', plural nominalizations) and the nature of cross-categorial plurality markers.
