Workshop

The Theory and Historical Development of Expletives (and non-referential arguments)

09.06-10.06.2022, Bochum
Workshop-Seite „Expletives“

This workshop looks to bring together a group of synchronic and diachronic syntacticians, who may not necessarily otherwise be in regular contact, in order to investigate a range of so-called expletive elements and constellations in syntax. It is intended that this workshop will provide groundwork for an improved understanding of such expletive(-like) elements and constellations from both a historical and synchronic theoretical perspective.
