Meeting Description:

International Conference on AdjectivesUniversity of Lille 3September 13-15 2007

As opposed to verbs and nouns, adjectives have often been somewhatneglected in linguistic research. However adjectives and their propertiesrepresent a broad ranging research topic raising many major issues, bothfrom a typological point of view, with respect to the definition of thecategory, and from the point of view of their syntax and semantics, whichcombine verbal and nominal properties. Investigations of the adjective canraise major theoretical challenges for linguistic theories, which tend tobe centered on the verb and the noun, raising numerous theoreticalquestions. Abstracts for the conference we are organizing at the Universityof Lille 3, in September 2007, are invited on all questions pertaining toadjectives.

As opposed to verbs and nouns, adjectives have often been somewhat neglected in linguistic research. However adjectives and their properties represent a broad ranging research topic raising many major issues, both from a typological point of view, with respect to the definition of the category, and from the point of view of their syntax and semantics, which combine verbal and nominal properties. Investigations of the adjective can raise major theoretical challenges for linguistic theories, which tend to be centered on the verb and the noun, raising numerous theoretical questions. Abstracts for the conference we are organizing at the University of Lille, in September 2007, are invited on all questions pertaining to adjectives, including:- The derivational morphology of adjectives;- The inflexion of adjectives;- The lexical semantics of adjectives;- The argument structure of adjectives;- The syntax of adjectives and their behaviour both within and outside of the noun phrase;- Predicative uses of adjectives;- The ordering of adjectives;- Relationships between adjectives and participles and other intermediate forms between the adjective and verb;- Relations between adjectives and nouns;- The typological status of adjectives.
