The main purpose of the workshop is to bring together insights on how eventuality structures are reflected in linguistic form and how such structures can be derived from it in utterance interpretation. Special topics of interest include lexical structure of verbs, aspectual composition and adverbial modification.
The workshop is hosted by the research project 'Event Structures: Grammatical and Conceptual Components of Utterance Interpretation' at the Department of Linguistics of the University of Leipzig and the Graduiertenkolleg 'Universality and Diversity: Linguistic Structures and Processes', and is financially supported by the Centre of Cognitive Sciences (ZfK) at the 'Zentrum für höhere Studien' at the University of Leipzig. Papers describing research contributions on any aspect of event-based semantics or verbal semantics are welcome for discussion. Conference languages will be English and German. Continuously updated information on the workshop (including registration, accommodation, program, location etc.) can be found at this website.
A collection of outstanding papers read at the conference will be published in cooperation with Mouton de Gruyter.
