2nd Call for Papers:
Abstracts are invited for the International
Workshop on Nominalization in the Languages of
the Americas, to be held at Pontificia
Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), on
28-30th August 2014. We are interested in
studies on nominalization from different
perspectives, including both functional and
formal approaches and dealing with languages of
different areas/families of the Americas.
Synchronic, diachronic, areal, and typological
studies are equally welcome. Possible topics
include:
Form of Nominalizations:
- Lexical and grammatical nominalizations
- Event nominalizations and argument
nominalizations
- V-based and N-based nominalizations
- Nominalization morphology and nominalization
markers
- Internal and external syntax of
nominalizations (to
- What extent are they nominal externally and
verbal
internally?)
Use/function of nominalizations:
- NP-use (referential function)
- Modification-use (relativization,
N-complementation and V-complementation,
adverbials, clause chaining)
- Pragmaticization of nominalizations
- Desubordination/insubordination (i.e.
nominalizations taking on sentential
functions)
Being a treasure trove of nominalizations with
a rich inventory of structures and varied usage
patterns, South America is a natural focus of
the workshop, but we strongly encourage the
participation of linguists working on both
Central and North American languages.
Publication of a volume based on the studies
presented in the workshop is planned, similar
to Nominalization in Asian Languages:
Diachronic and Typological Perspectives edited
by Foong Ha Yap, Karen Grunow-Hårsta and Janick
Wrona (2011).
One-page abstracts should be sent to
nominalizationpucp
gmail.com.
Abstract deadline: March 31, 2014.
This is the first of the international
workshops supported and planned biennially by
PUCP’s recently launched Digital Archive of
Peruvian Languages and is part of a research
project funded by PUCP’s Office for the
Promotion of Research (Dirección de Gestión de
la Investigación).
