Meeting Description:
In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers working on argument coding. There will be a particular focus on decomposition and on the role of natural classes.
Generalizations of argument coding are often not apparent by looking at entire verbs, coding elements, verb meanings or constructions, but only when these items are decomposed into their constituent parts or elementary features. This decomposition is often not obvious and may require considerable abstraction. The workshop should address ways in which such decomposition is best achieved. Using the constituent features, one can group verbs or coding elements into natural classes which behave alike with respect to some other phenomenon. Such natural classes will be another focus of the workshop.
The participants of the workshop will include the members of the research unit Grammar and Processing of Verbal Arguments and a number of invited speakers.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend the talks. If you plan to attend the workshop, please register by sending an e-mail to Martin Haspelmath (haspelmatheva.mpg.de) so that we can take you into consideration while preparing the handouts, etc.
The workshop will take place at Leipzig University, Universitätsstraße, Seminargebäude, room 402 and/or 420.
