17:45 FINAL DISCUSSION
From the 5th to the 6th of November 2015, a onomastic workshop on Proper Names and Morphosyntax will be held in Berlin, Germany.
In addition to providing a scientific forum for the discussion of the morphosyntactic properties of proper names, this workshop will offer an opportunity to collectively investigate complex expressions containing proper names (e.g. prepositional phrases and compounding). The central question to be explored during this gathering is the necessity of creating a specific grammar to describe the morphological and syntactic properties of proper names.
The full program for this event is available on the conference website.
This workshop deals with proper names from an exclusively linguistic point of view. Specifically, we want to focus on the morphosyntactic properties of names as well as on complex units (both morphological and syntactic) containing names. The central question is in which way and to which extent names deviate from non-proprial expressions both in a specific language and from a cross-linguistic perspective.
NEW: An updated programme is now online (22nd October)
NEW: Registration is still possible until the 25th October
