Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2010
Meeting Description:
Ancient Greek has many interesting semantic and pragmatic features among
which its abundance of particles, its intricate tense and aspect system, and
negative concord. Although these phenomena are well studied in classics, they
are relatively unknown to the semantic community at large. This is the more
surprising given the potential repercussions for general semantic and pragmatic
theory. Accordingly, the purpose of this conference is to bring together
researchers from these different backgrounds in order to bridge the gap and
facilitate cross fertilization between the disciplines.
Call for Papers
We invite abstracts covering any topic from the semantics and pragmatics of
Ancient Greek. Potential topics include, but are by no means limited to: verbal
semantics, case and spatial relations, particles, report constructions, tense,
aspect, modality, discourse structure, anaphora, deixis, and quantication. The
only limitation is that the analysis should be clearly embedded within a
theoretical framework to your choice.
Invited Speakers:
Cleo Condoravdi (Palo Alto Research Center)
Dag Haug (University of Oslo)
Paul Kiparsky (Stanford University)
Albert Rijksbaron (University of Amsterdam)
Gerry Wakker (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen)
