Meeting Description:
'Current Trends in Grammaticalization Research' is a two-day workshop on new
developments in theorizing about grammaticalization and related phenomena.
Call for Papers
Current Trends in Grammaticalization Research: Deadline extended until April 20th!
The study of grammaticalization and related phenomena continues to be a thriving
branch of historical linguistics. Where the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st
century witnessed a special interest in definitional issues, recent theorizing
has been focusing on a synthesis of grammaticalization studies and other
disciplines, such as psycholinguistics, contact linguistics, and Construction
Grammar. These novel perspectives, based on an increasing body of data
(including work from non-Indo-European languages), provoke new and interesting
questions about the very nature of grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and
lexicalization.
This two-day workshop aims to bring together theoretical and empirical
approaches to grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and lexicalization, and
we therefore welcome both theoretical and data-oriented submissions. Topics
include (but are not restricted to):
- the grammaticalization-lexicalization interface
- the status of pragmaticalization
- contact-induced grammaticalization
- psycholinguistic approaches to directional tendencies
- grammaticalization, degrammaticalization, and lexicalization within a
constructional framework
- grammaticalization and morphological theory
- grammaticalization and syntactic theory
Plenary Speakers
We are pleased to announce the following plenary speakers:
- Hans-Olav Enger, University of Oslo
- Nikolaus Himmelmann, University of Münster
- Graeme Trousdale, University of Edinburgh

that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
