| summary | After three years of exploration into the issues of Polycategoriality, the POLYCAT group is pleased to announce its closing conference. Our international group and researchers worldwide will reunite in Paris to present findings from diverse languages from Amerindian, African, Austronesian, Papuan, to Indo-European, in order to provide a comparative and pluridisciplinary approach to fundamental issues in polycategoriality.
Presentations will reflect different theoretical positions within various linguistic fields : morphosyntax, semantics, cognition, language acquisition, anthropological linguistics, and more.
Questions addressed include:
Are lexical forms always specified for category? if so, at what level of grammatical representation?
Do levels of category specification vary across languages?
What are the semantic correlates of category indeterminacy or flexibility?
Is a category label part of the mental representation of roots or words?
What kind of evidence does morphosyntactic development in language acquisition provide for the study of category determination? Is there significant variation across languages?
What is the relation between category acquisition and the acquisition of ontological types of events and entities?
Does polycategoriality facilitate or otherwise affect lexical productivity and creativity? |
