Meeting Description:
Predication is the backbone of natural-language syntax and semantics. Secondary predication comes in a wide variety of forms. Early research in theoretical linguistics shows a strong tendency to represent all forms of secondary predication uniformly (Williams 1980). It has become clear in more recent years that generalizations covering the entire spectrum of secondary predication constructions (including epistemic constructions, depictives, and resultatives) are less straightforward than previously thought, and that detailed investigation of the various subtypes, in both verbal and nominal environments, is of the essence in building a solid understanding of secondary predication. In this workshop, researchers from all corners of the world are expected to share their expertise, raise issues on various aspects of secondary predication, and provide solutions from new perspectives by looking into the details of the facts regarding secondary predication in the target language(s) of investigation, and/or through cross-linguistic comparisons with other related or unrelated languages.
Keynote Speakers:
Marcel den Dikken and Éva Dékány (Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics)
Hideki Kishimoto (Kobe University)
Call for Papers:
We invite submissions of abstracts for 25-minute presentations (followed by 10-minute discussions) on any topic of secondary predication. We especially welcome submissions addressing questions on secondary predication from a formal theoretical perspective (e.g. generative grammar). Abstracts should be written in English. Abstracts should be one page long with titles, names/affiliations, and the main texts no longer than 500 words, excluding examples, references and tables/figures; the additional data may be listed on a second page. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF at the workshop webpage:
