The Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium<\/strong> (Olinc<\/span>o) is a general linguistics conference held biannually at <\/span>Palack\u00fd University Olomouc<\/span><\/span><\/a>, Czech Republic<\/span>. It covers synchronic or diachronic aspects of grammar, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics, among others. Papers may also treat language des<\/span>cription, language acquisition, performance, translation, or language deficits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The general topic<\/strong> of the conference is language use and linguistic structure<\/span>. The contributions\u00a0 are expected to include justified proposals for linguistic structure, and at the same time relate these structures to some aspect of language use, such as information structure, phonetics, or meaning. The conference also includes several specialized thematic sessions.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

The syntax of nominalization revisited<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/em>: In this talk, I will discuss two issues within syntactic approaches to nominalization, focusing on Grimshaw’s (1990) complex event nominals (CENs), that are currently controversially discussed. The first one concerns the question of whether the derivation of CENs is phrasal as opposed to involving complex head formation. The second one concerns the question of whether CENs may have the same transitive structure found in the verbal domain as opposed to being intransitive. Approaching these issues will shed light on the nature of nominalization process itself, the operations that may create complex objects in the syntax more generally and the cross-linguistic variation found in this domain.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

Motion events and conceptual transfer in a second language<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/em>: Motion is a crucial conceptual domain. We all describe how we and other entities move, but languages may differ in how they encode semantic components in motion events. According to Talmy\u2019s (1991) semantic typology, verb-framed languages, e.g. Spanish, tend to encode the semantic component of Path (including the direction and trajectory of the movement) in the main verb of the event: Sale<\/span> corriendo<\/em> \u2018s\/he exits running\u2019. Satellite-framed languages, however, tend to encode Path out of the main verb, in a so-called \u201csatellite\u201d: She runs out<\/span><\/em>, with a more frequent inclusion of the Manner component in the main verb. Slobin (1996) shows how these typological differences impact other areas, such as discourse, and the speakers\u2019 rhetorical style. Motion has been identified as one of the areas that are very likely to be a source of conceptual transfer in the acquisition of a new language (Jarvis and Pavlenko 2008). Some aspects of motion seem particularly challenging for learners, even for advanced students (Cadierno 2017). For example, in Spanish as a second language, the use of deictic verbs (venir<\/em> \u2018come\u2019 and traer<\/em> \u2018bring\u2019) or caused motion events (meter<\/em> \u2018put in\u2019, dejar<\/em> \u2018put on\u2019, etc.) (Hijazo-Gasc\u00f3n 2021). Previous studies show how explicit instruction of the semantic contrasts between the students\u2019 L1 and L2 are beneficial to the acquisition of the target language and prevent negative transfer. Working with these contrasts through mediation activities can be particularly interesting, as they would also foster the development of students\u2019 plurilingual competence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

Intonation acquisition in L2: Patterns, insights, and challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/em>: There is a certain paradox in the acquisition of intonation in a second language (L2): while some scholars claim that intonation is very difficult, if not impossible, for L2 adult speakers to acquire, anecdotal evidence suggests that it is a feature of language we can pick up rapidly when learning a new language or dialect. This apparent contradiction raises the question of which features of L2 intonation are learned and which are not, and why this is the case. In this talk, I will explore the patterns of intonation in L2 prosody, highlighting both the insights gained from recent research and the challenges encountered by learners. Through empirical data collected from learners of various Romance languages (L2), I will show how L1 influences prosodic features in L2, affecting learners\u2019 ability to produce intonation accurately. The findings will shed light on the implications for language instruction and offer strategies to enhance teaching methodologies. Additionally, I will discuss future research directions in understanding L2 intonation, aiming to connect theoretical insights with practical applications in language learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=“.vc_custom_1495797356411{border-right-width: 10% !important;border-bottom-width: 10% !important;border-left-width: 10% !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}“ el_id=“call-for-papers“ local_scroll_id=“call-for-papers“][vc_column]
