Cortés Rodríguez Meeting Email: fcortesull.es Web Site: http://www.societaslinguistica.eu/ Linguistic Field(s): Morphology; Semantics; Syntax Call Deadline: 11-Nov-2010 Meeting Description: This workshop seeks to host recent work on some of the topics listed below. The presentations should place emphasis on the value of addressing these topics from a perspective that integrates different approaches and/or dimensions of analysis: - The architecture of the lexicon: proposals for lexical organization (lexematics, lexical classes and domains, frames, scripts, etc). - Meaning construction below and above word level: the role of constructions in Morphology in general, with special focus on word formation processes, the interaction of constructions and affixes, the relation between word internal and word external syntax, etc. Meaning construction above the word level: from phrasal syntax to texts. - The nature of semantic representations: Cognitive modeling, primes, logical and/or event structures, qualia, etc. - The interaction between lexical units and constructions: the (non-) existence and nature of a lexicon-grammar continuum, lexical-constructional fusion, semantic and grammatical coercion, etc. - Layers of meaning and layers of grammar: layering proposals in functional models vs. form-meaning pairings. - Whether linguistic processes attested in one domain of linguistic inquiry are active-and, if so, to what extent--in other domains (cf. the equipollence hypothesis in the Lexical Constructional Model). - The explanatory value of postulating semantic and/or pragmatic dimensions of meaning, with special emphasis on the communicative function(s) of lexical items and the constructions with which they fuse. - Principles and constraints in meaning construction and interpretation: e.g. conceptual compatibility between lexical and constructional structure, metaphor and metonymy as possible constraining factors on grammar. Call For Papers - All presentations will be 20 minutes plus a 10 minute question time. - Interested researchers in taking part in this workshop are kindly invited to contact Francisco J. Cortés-Rodríguez (fcortesull.es) with their name, affiliation and a provisional abstract (max. 200 words) by 11 November 2010. - If the present workshop proposal is accepted (the date of notification being 15th December 2010), abstracts should be submitted to SLE' conference website (http: //sle2011.cilap.es/) by 15 January 2011.
