Call for papers

We invite contributions on proper names with determiners, quantifiers and/or any means of modification, as well as honorifics, diminutives, classifiers, and other affixes, from a morphological, syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic perspective. The main questions this Workshop seeks to answer are:

  1. What categories can accompany proper names in natural language?
  2. What is the meaning contribution of these categories? How does it combine with that of proper names?
  3. What kind of syntax do determined and modified proper names project?

The Workshop will take place at Universität zu Köln, Germany, on May 16-17, 2024.

Abstracts

We invite submissions for 30 min presentations (plus 15 min for discussion) in English. Abstracts should be anonymous and not longer than two pages (Times New Roman 12 pt., single space, 2,4 cm margins). They should be submitted in pdf format to the EasyChair site.
