Causation: from context(s) to grammar
The workshop "Causation: from context(s) to grammar" will take place in Athens on August 30-31 2021, during the 54th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea. It is organized by Prof. Dr. Klaus von Heusinger, Dr. Marta Donazzan, and Clémentine Raffy as part of the DFG project "Composing events in Romance causative constructions and the semantics of causation" (project number: 361344414) at the University of Cologne.
This workshop aims at investigating the ties between the cognitive representation of causation and its linguistic realisations, in order to define how the primitives of causation interact with grammar at different levels of representation, within one language as well as crosslinguistically.
Date: August 30-31 2021
Place: Athens
Organisation: Prof. Dr. Klaus von Heusinger, Dr. Marta Donazzan, and Clémentine Raffy
