Call for papers: Special Issue on Aspect

The second issue of vol. 30 (2007) of the Nordic Journal of Linguisticswill be a special issue devoted to aspect, edited by Raffaella Folli(University of Ulster), Heidi Harley (University of Arizona), and BrittaJensen (University of Cambridge).

Over the past twenty years the investigation of (grammatical and lexical)aspect has given rise to a very rich body of work in many differentlanguages. With this special issue we would like to create the opportunityfor a deeper understanding of both lexical aspect and grammatical aspect inthe Nordic languages (which include both the five Scandinavian ones,Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish, and at least threenon-Scandinavian ones, namely Finnish, Greenlandic and Saami). We also hopeto encourage the investigation of the relation between the lexical aspectand the grammatical aspect, a topic which until now has received much lessattention.

It is well-known that both types of aspect interact closely with a greatrange of different linguistic phenomena such as tense, nominals, adverbials(including temporal clauses), quantification, and discourse structure.

For this special issue of NJL we welcome papers addressing any issuerelated to aspect in any of the Nordic languages from a variety ofperspectives (e.g. syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguisticsand psycholinguistics).

The deadline for submission is January 31, 2007. Papers should be sent toone of the following two guest editors:
