Workshop Description:
Object marking has long been central to debates about the nature of agreement and clitic doubling. While traditionally treated as distinct phenomena, a growing body of work has shown that the empirical picture is more complex and that the distinction is often difficult to maintain (Jaeggli 1982; Borer 1984; Sportiche 1996; Roberts 2010; Kramer 2012; Zeller 2015; Dierks, Ra

SUMMARY
Die Dativalternation betrifft nur dreiwertige Transferverben wie 鈥歡eben鈥�, 鈥歭eihen鈥�, 鈥歴chicken鈥�, 鈥歴enden鈥� und 鈥歷erkaufen鈥�, die den Transfer eines Themas (Akkusativ) von einem Agens (Nominativ) zu einem Rezipienten kodieren. Der Rezipient kann durch eine Dativobjektkonstruktion oder eine Pr盲positionalobjektkonstruktion ausgedr眉ckt werden. Diese Konstruktionen unterscheiden sich von vier verwandten Konstruktionen: die Doppelobjektkonstruktion des Englischen oder Niederl盲ndischen, eine Ko
As you no doubt know, the academic job market has been evolving in the last few years, and preparing for it is a stressful time for graduate students and those trying to make moves to new institutions or roles.

We鈥檙e thrilled to continue the workshop series this summer with support

Abstract:
This interview discusses the shift from traditional views of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) to more dynamic perspectives on Second Language Development (SLD). Early theories based on Universal Grammar viewed language learning as guided by innate principles, while connectionism and usage-based model
I do not doubt that there are languages where the WORD for '20' is etymologically something like '(whole) person', which fact is constantly cited as proof that those people counted fingers AND TOES. But two questions: (1) is there a language that actually has a numeral that etymologically derives from a word for toe? (2) Has anyone observed people counting on fingers and toes?
This volume posits that evidentials and other types of epistemic marking (i.e. epistemics) are deictic forms, indexing knowledge representation and attribution, and need to be analysed in context. The volume adopts an interaction- and discourse-based perspective to the study of meaning and distribution of epistemics in a varied sample of languages. Its primary aim is to further our understanding of epistemics by addressing three main analytical challenges: (1) the context-sensitivity of epistemi
