Workshop

Ditransitive constructions in a cross-linguistic perspective

Pavia (Italy) 11 September 2014

held in connection with SWL 6

 

Description:

The workshop proposes to look at ditransitive constructions in various languages. Topics that the papers could address might include (among others):
- Morphological object marking (identical marking of direct and indirect objects; double accusatives; optional object marking; development of object markers; dative drift);
- Hierarchy-driven object marking / Differences between direct and indirect objects in relation to animacy hierarchies; to pro-drop; to word order; to diatheses;
- Syntactic objects (e.g. status of objects in complex predicates; status of indirect objects and the definition of core arguments)

Guests are welcome! Please kindly send us a message if you plan to attend the workshop in order to facilitate organisation.
