Meeting Description:
This conference is intended to cover analysis of complex predicates in Iranian
languages spoken in Iran and elsewhere in a range of different frameworks
(theoretical, computational, functional, typological, historical, etc.).
International Conference on Complex Predicates in Iranian Languages

Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris III

The Conference on Complex Predicates in Iranian Languages will address analyses
of complex predicates. Although the focus of this conference is on languages
belonging to the Iranian language family, the data and theoretical discussions
will be relevant for a range of different languages as well as theoretical
frameworks.
Complex predicates (also referred to as light verb constructions or multiword
expressions) are generally defined as predicates that are composed of more than
one grammatical element (either morphemes or words), each of which contributes
part of the information ordinarily associated with a single head. The issues
raised by complex predicates cut across various subfields of linguistics.
Complex predicates show both phrasal and lexical properties and thus pose
challenges for theories of word formation, the morphology-syntax interface, as
well as lexical semantics. The interaction between predicate formation and
argument structure is another important area of research. In addition, the study
of complex predicates has consequences for a theory of the syntax-phonology
interface.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together those working on complex
predicates in different Iranian languages in order to understand the
similarities and differences within this language family and to discuss possible
typologies, grammaticalization strategies, computational representations,
problematic issues, and the merits of different approaches and analyses.
