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. Papers may treat language des<\/span>cription, language acquisition, performance, translation, or language deficits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The general topic 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

The Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium 2018 will take place on June 7-9, 2018.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=“.vc_custom_1500541527240{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 11px !important;}“]\n

The (ad\/pro)nominal similative: ad hoc in discourse, less so in grammar<\/strong><\/em>
\nAbstract<\/strong>:\u00a0The main function of words like English such<\/em> or French tel <\/em>is to introduce ad hoc categories. When somebody wants to buy such a cat<\/em>, it will be an indefinite cat similar to a definite cat, but it is typically of a type for which the speaker has no ready-made category: the ad hoc category could be ‚cat with green eyes and a great personality just like the one in front of the speaker‘. Surprisingly, the grammarians‘ treatment of such<\/em> and tel<\/em> is also very much ad hoc and, more importantly, confusing. A comparison with Latin, the parent language of French, and Sanskrit, a coeval of Latin, makes us categorize such<\/em> and tel<\/em> as ‚demonstrative similatives‘. It also throws light on the diachronic grammar on French and on the difficulties that the grammarians of English and French have had: such<\/em> and tel<\/em> are the sole survivors of an old Indo-European ‚correlative‘ set of similatives. The system is found in a basic shape in Latin. In Sanskrit the system got extended, thus raising the typological question as to how much variation we may expect.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

Re-establishing the autonomy of syntax: Abstract morphemes build interpretable structures<\/strong><\/em>
\nAbstract<\/strong>: Contemporary generative syntacticians tend to endorse principles associated with generative semantics (related to UTAH but also to approaches associated with, e.g. Borer and Ramchand) such that argument structure can be read off of or can project underlying syntactic structure. I argue in opposition that principles of syntactic structure building are truly autonomous such that underlying syntactic structure is determined neither by \u201ctheta theory\u201d nor by considerations of aspectual or argument structure. The resulting system of interpretive semantics and phonology better explains both cross-linguistic uniformity and cross-linguistic diversity in the expression of semantic relations, as well as providing insight into the relationship among the EPP, Dependent Case theory, Burzio\u2019s Generalization, ergative case-marking, differential object marking and causative clause union.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=“1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n

The early emergence of language via externalization<\/strong><\/em>
\nAbstract<\/strong>: Discussing the evolution of language, Chomsky & Berwick (2016) claim that \u201call recent relevant biological and evolutionary research leads to the conclusion that the process of externalization is secondary\u201d to a purely internal language of thought. This internal language is claimed to have evolved without communication. Here, I argue against this thesis on the basis of the development of the lexicon. Chomsky & Berwick regard the emergence of lexical items as highly mysterious: \u201cno one has any idea\u201d (2016:86) how to account for them. Reversing our account of language evolution so that externalization comes first, I argue that lexical items emerge gradually via communication. Given this premise, we can elucidate the properties of words and the development of a storage and retrieval system devoted to them.<\/span>[\/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]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Parameters in the 21st Century<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>Anna Cardinaletti <\/strong><\/a>(Universita Ca Foscari, Italy)
\n<\/a>Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>The Principles and Parameters approach was a postulated solution to\u00a0Plato’s Problem, as defined and stipulated by Chomsky (1986) and Chomsky and Lasnik (1993) to explain the apparent gap between linguistic knowledge and linguistic competence (\u00a0the argument from poverty of the stimulus). The\u00a0research following the Minimalist Program takes issue with the large number of independent postulations in P&P trying to \u00a0reduce them to more fundamental principles or to derive them from `reasonable\u2019 interface constraints on derivations. The workshop wants to present more current modifications and alternatives of P&P, e.g. correlations between the parameters, applications of economy, conservatism, the macro- and micro-variations,\u00a0 and dialect variations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Empirical approaches to contrastive linguistics and translation studies
\n<\/strong><\/span>Volker Gast<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, Germany),\u00a0Vahram Atayan<\/a> (Heidelberg University, Germany) & Torsten Leuschner<\/a> (Ghent University, Belgium)
\n<\/a>Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>Contrastive linguistics and translation studies have considerably cross-fertilized each other in recent years, not least because they use similar resources and methods. In particular, the investigation of translated texts figures prominently in both fields, even though the perspectives taken, and the epistemological objectives pursued, are different. Beyond observational (corpus-based) methods, there is moreover a growing body of experimental research in both fields, e.g. using eye-tracking. This workshop is intended to bring together scholars from contrastive linguistics and translation studies, with a focus on interfaces and synergies between the fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Study in Nanosyntax
\n<\/strong><\/span>Michal Starke <\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Tromsoe University, Norway)
\n<\/a>Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>As syntactic research has gradually become more detailed and empirically fine-tuned, it has become more plausible that domains called ‚morphology‘ and ‚syntax‘ by traditional descriptivists are in fact a single computational engine, also involving much of what has been called formal semantics in the generative tradition. Keeping them modular is initially attractive but quickly devolves into redundancy as one goes beyond coarse labels such as ‚oblique case‘, ‚satellite framed languages‘ or ‚participle‘. This workshop invites papers exploring the interplay of fine-grained syntactic structures with morphology and formal semantics, via the *ABA generalisation, packaging of structurally disparate interpretable features into a single morpheme and other diagnostics bringing morphology, semantics and syntax together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nature of change
\n<\/strong><\/span>Franti\u0161ek Kratochv\u00edl <\/strong><\/a>(Nanyang Technological University Singapore, Palack\u00fd University Olomouc)
\n<\/a>Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong>Languages possess grammatical means to encode the nature and progression of change described by predicates. This is referred to as affectedness (e.g. Hopper and Thompson 1980; Tenny 1997; Dowty 1991; Beavers 2011; Beavers et al. 2017) or event culmination (Demirdache and Martin 2015). <\/span>
\n This workshop focuses on two questions: (i) what the grammatical means to encode the change (lexicon, morphology, syntax) and how is the change trajectory conceptualised, and (ii) what are the available vectors to track the change (patient, benefactive, self-benefactive, etc.), as in (Fried 2011, 2014; Kratochv\u00edl and Delpada 2015, and others).\u00a0 Submissions are invited on languages of Asia and Oceania, but relevant submissions comparing two or more languages, which include languages of Asia or Oceania, are also encouraged.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=“stretch_row“ css=“.vc_custom_1509307838485{background-color: #e0edd3 !important;}“ el_id=“program“ local_scroll_id=“program“][vc_column]

Each paper in an oral session will be allotted\u00a040 minutes, including 5 \u2013 10 minutes for discussion, i.e. the talk should last no more than\u00a035 minutes.
\nThe language of the presentation is English. Non-English examples should be properly glossed and translated to English.<\/span><\/p>\n

Available technology:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0We will provide a PC with Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader connected to a dataprojector and speakers. We strongly advise you to bring your presentation on a USB flash drive or CD\/DVD because we cannot guarantee your laptop will be compatible with our on-site equipment (especially applies to Mac users). Presenters will have 10 minutes before the beginning of every oral session to check their presentations on the equipment. A technical assistant will be present to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Handouts:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0The organizers believe that the audience at a scientific conference deserves (apart from hearing and watching the presentation) some kind of printed material (handout), containing main arguments, examples, the proposed hypothesis and bibliography. The presenters are therefore asked to bring their handouts with them, about 25-30 copies: 1-3 sheets of paper, printed on one or both sides\u00a0 (about 12 point font \u2013 because there may be visually handicapped people present). If more handouts are needed (we cannot predict the audience size in a given section), there will be copy machines available and willing student helpers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/2″][vc_column_text]Poster\u00a0presentations<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The language of the presentation is English. Non-English examples should be properly glossed and translated to English.<\/p>\n

Posting:<\/strong>\u00a0Authors of posters are required to be present during their poster session to discuss their posters with interested conference goers.
\nAuthors should\u00a0attach their posters to the boards before the beginning of the session\u00a0(materials for attaching will be provided).
\nPosters should be removed from the boards by their presenters before the next poster session begins or in the evening following the presentation. Posters left on the boards\u00a0will be removed by the organizers and can be collected at the registration\u00a0desk.<\/p>\n

Format:<\/strong>\u00a0The poster boards are in the portrait orientation, their size is ISO A1 format (594 mm width, 841 mm height). The main text should be in a large enough font (e.g. 32 pts). The text should be brief and presented in bullet-point or numbered lists as much as possible. Avoid long paragraphs.
\nWe recommend to poster presenters to prepare reduced-size copies of their posters (e.g. A4 sheets) to be handed out.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=“stretch_row“ parallax=“content-moving“ css=“.vc_custom_1495633340483{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}“ local_scroll_id=“venue“ el_id=“venue“][vc_column]

Travel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
From Prague to Olomouc: <\/span><\/strong>The easiest way to get from V\u00e1clav Havel Airport Prague to the main train station (Praha, hlavn\u00ed n\u00e1dra\u017e\u00ed, sometimes abbreviated to Praha, hl. n.) is to take the Airport Express (AE) bus. It stops right in front of the arrival hall (a bit to the right, the last bus stop) and takes you directly to the main train station which is the terminus. You buy the ticket from the driver for K\u010d 60 (about EURO 2.5, but the driver does not accept foreign currencies, so you have to exchange money at the airport, try to have a 200 crown note or less). The ticket machines at the stop do not sell this ticket. Timetable here<\/a>. More info here<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

There are also coaches going directly from the Prague airport to Olomouc. More info at the Student Agency website<\/a>, or call: +420 542 424 242 or +420 800 100 300.<\/p>\n
