Meeting Description:
This conference will bring together descriptivists and comparativists for an in-depth discussion of the morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse properties of ditransitive constructions in the world's languages.
Conference on Ditransitive Constructions in the World's Languages
Leipzig, 23-25 November 2007
organized by Andrej Malchukov and Martin Haspelmath Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig
Invited speakers:
Balthasar Bickel (U Leipzig) Bernard Comrie (MPI-EVA Leipzig) Bernd Heine & Christa König (U Cologne)
Theme:
We especially encourage contributions providing a systematic description of ditransitive constructions in individual, little-known languages (perhaps guided by our Questionnaire; see conference website), based on original fieldwork. But papers dealing with ditransitive constructions in better known languages, or from a comparative or general theoretical perspective, are also welcome. We are hoping to publish an edited volume including a position paper and 20-odd selected surveys of ditransitive constructions in typologically diverse languages on the basis of conference presentations.
