- FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS:
- Workshop on Second Position Clitics
- July 10, 11 1993. The Ohio State University
-
- A workshop on second position clitics will be held on Saturday July 10th
- (and possibly Sunday the 11th) as a supplementary event to the Linguistic
- Institute held in Columbus, Ohio. The organizers (Arnold Zwicky and Aaron
- Halpern) are soliciting papers that combine a theoretical approach to some
- aspect of second position with a relatively detailed description of a
- language.
-
- The proposed format of the workshop is to have around ten papers, 30
- minutes in length, with 10 minutes for discussion. It is expected that
- the papers will be collected into a volume; written responses by workshop
- participants will be invited (and published along with the main papers).
-
- If you want to take part in this workshop, send a version of your
- proposed paper (suitable for presentation within half an hour), or an
- extended abstract, to the organizers at the address below. Submissions
- should reflect a knowledge of previous work on (second position) clitics.
-
- DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: March 20, 1993
-
- Some topics of interest to theoretical linguistics are given below. (This
- list is not intended to be exhaustive, just indicative.)
-
- - The nature of the principles or mechanisms for ensuring that
- material is located in second position (syntactic, prosodic,
- morphological)
- - Accounts of the variation from language to language as to what
- counts as second position (e.g., after the first word, after the
- first syntactic constituent) and how the variants are related
- - Why particular constructions don't allow clitics after the first word of
- a clause in a language in which this position is otherwise available
- - Fronted phrases, and whether they count as first or are skipped
- - Comparisons of 2P clitics with different functions (pronominal,
- (auxiliary) verb, adverbial/particle)
- - Relationships between 2P and V2 (second position clitics and
- verb-second constructions)S
- - Relationships between second position clitics and head-located clitics
- (attached to verbs).
- - Relationships between scrambling (giving either free constituent order or
- free word order) and second position for clitics.
