Second call for papers:
Workshop on the diachrony of morphological case (at ICHL-XVII in Madison,
Wisconsin, 31 July-5 August 2005)
Morphological case has been extensively studied for a wide array of
languages from a synchronic perspective. On the other hand, the study of
morphological case marking from a diachronic perspective has received less
attention. The aim of this workshop is to establish greater awareness of
the semantic development of case and the implications such development has
for the syntax of languages with morphological case marking systems.
Possible research problems may include but need not be limited to the
following:
- Changes in the form-meaning mapping of individual case markers.
- System-wide reanalysis of the form-meaning mapping of case markers.
- Changes to case marking in larger constructions such as comparatives or
argument structure constructions.
- The role of ''functional equivalence'' or ''grammatical synonymy'' for
changes in case marking, in particular mergers or loss of case.
- Discourse-based changes in the role and meaning of case markers.
- Pragmatically-based changes in the role and meaning of case markers.
Please send your abstracts of 500 words or less to both Jóhanna Barðdal
(johanna.barddal

morphological case may also be appropriate for this panel. Please email
your queries to Jóhanna Barðdal or Shobhana Chelliah. A response on
abstracts will be sent out no later than 15 January, 2005.
