Full Title: Linking Elements - Origin, Change, Functionalization Short Title: Workshop at the 13 IMM Date: 03-Feb-2008 - 06-Feb-2008 Location: Vienna, Austria Contact Person: Renata Szczepaniak Meeting Email: rszczepa uni-mainz.de Web Site: http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/inst/roman/imm13/ Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics Call Deadline: 17-Sep-2007 Meeting Description: Workshop at the 13th International Morphology Meeting, February 2008, Vienna, Austria New lexical concepts can be expressed through the combination of two or more existing free lexical morphemes. These can be combined in (more or less complex) phrases as well as compounds, cf. New High German Geodätisches Institut 'institute of geodesy' (NP) vs. Wirtschaft-s-institut 'institute of economy' (compound). Language history reveals that the borders between these two mechanisms are not clear-cut. In contrast, they can be crossed diachronically: Syntactic nominal phrases like Early New High German des teuffels list can turn into morphological compound structures, cf. New High German Teufelslist 'cunning of the devil', which gain productivity as a morphological mechanism. This workshop addresses questions on the internal structures of compounds and constructions in an intermediary state between syntax and morphology (cf. French chemin-de-fer '''way-of-iron''' 'railway' or Icelandic vél-ar-hlóð 'machine sound'). The focus is set on elements which originally serve to express syntactic relations (cf. inflectional affixes, prepositions etc.) and develop as 'linking elements', cf. the linking -s in Teufel-s-list in the joint position between the parts of compounds. We would like to invite research presentations on the origin, change, and functionalization of linking elements in different languages. Although all work on linking elements is of high interest, we would especially want to stress the importance of diachronic and contrastive studies. Some of the questions to be addressed are listed in the following: - What linguistic material develops as linking elements? - Which morpho-syntactic categories have retained their meaning and which have abandoned it (cf. e.g. former number- vs. case-affixes)? - Can functionalization in morphology, semantics, or phonology be taken into account? Which functions do linking elements develop? Is there a correlation between productivity and functionalization? - How are linking elements connected to language processing? - What has led to the loss of productive linking elements, cf. the history of English? - Which factors condition productivity and changes in productivity for linking elements? How many productive linking elements do languages keep, and are unproductive elements substituted by productive ones? - Is the productitity of linking elements connected with the producitivity of compounding (cf. the high productivity of compounding and the use of linking elements in languages like German and Danish vs. the low productivity of compounding and little use of linking elements in English or Polish)? - Is there a difference between origin and functionalization of linking elements in right-headed vs. left-headed compounds? - What influence does the token frequency of the first or second part of a com-pound have on the appearance of linking elements? - What is the grammatical status of linking elements? - What differences can be accounted for between written and spoken language? Abstract Submission: Please send an anonymous abstract of max. 500 words (20-minute talks with 10-minute discussion) in both .pdf and .doc formats to rszczepa uni-mainz.de. Notification: October 24, 2007 Organizers: Sebastian Kürschner, University of Groningen Renata Szczepaniak, University of Mainz Additionally, registration for the International Morphology Meeting is necessary. The pre-registration period ends October 31st, 2007. Conference URL: http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/inst/roman/imm13/
