Meeting Description:

Sección 11 'El sincretismo en la gramática del español' organizada por Elisabeth Stark (Zuerich) y Natascha Pomino (Konstanz/Zuerich) en el marco del 17 Congreso de la Asociaciónn Alemana de Hispanistas.

First call for papers / Primera petición de propuestas: los resúmenes de un máximo de una página deberán ser entregados antes del 15 de octubre 2008.

Aunque, en la hispanística, la descripción de la morfología haya reafirmado su posición (Almenay Bolufer 1920, Alberto Miranda 1994, Alonso Cortés 1987, Alvar & Pottier 1983, Alvar Ezquerra 31996, Ambadiang 1994, Bosque 1983, Bustos Gisbert 1986, Rainer 1993, Varela Ortega 1990, 1933), el sincretismo, que se produce cuando una forma asume diversas funciones, sigue siendo unos de los problemas de interfaz entre síntaxis y morfología. Las formas sincréticas relevan una desproporción entre síntaxis y morfología: ciertas distinciones sintácticas y/o semánticas no se reflejan en la morfología (véase p. ej. el sincretismo entre acusativo me/te y dativo me/te, el entre presente cantamos y indefinido cantamos).En nuestra sección, queremos discutir el fenómeno de sincretismo bajo varios puntos de vista y reunir así contribuciones teóricas y tipológicas que tematizen uno de los siguientes planteamientos del problema:¿Qué es el sincretismo (en contraste con otros conceptos como p. ej. la homonimía)?¿Cómo se pueden explicar las formas sincréticas de la gramática del español bajo el punto de vista sincrónico y/o diacrónico?¿Es el sincretismo solamente un resultado de cambios lingüísticos o puede ser también un desencadenante para cambios lingüísticos?¿Cómo se pueden explicar variaciones dialectales?¿Es el sincretismo una simplificación de los paradigmas en cuestión?¿Es el sincretismo solamente un epifenómeno que se da en la superficie de la lengua?¿Tiene el sincretismo consecuencias para la síntaxis?El objetivo de esta sesión es, entonces, por un lado, identificar aquellos rasgos morfosintácticos de la gramática española que se realizan usando formas sincréticas, y, por el otro lado, indagar hasta que medida estos casos de sincretismo son una característica sistemática de la lengua.

Participantes confirmados:Bossong, Georg (Zürich)Fischer, Susann (Stuttgart)González Vilbazo, Kai (Chicago)López Carretero, Luis (Chicago)Mensching, Guido (Berlin)

In 2001- as a part of the International Congress on Artificial Intelligence (ICAI-2001), which took place in Divnomorskoe (Russia). In 2002 the CML conference was held in Divnomorskoe as a part of the IEEE International Conference ''Artificial Intelligence Systems'' (IEEE AIS''02). Since 2003 till 2005 the CML conference took place in Bulgaria (Varna and Sofia). In 2008 the Conference will take place in Bechichi, Montenegro.

The Program of CML-2007 includes Exhibition of Cognitive - Oriented Computer Applications and Linguistic Resources (organized by Moscow State Steel and Alloys Institute (Technological University)), Cognitive Science Workshop (organized by Psychology Department of Moscow State University), Tutorial in Computational Language Typology and Quantitative Comparativistics (organized by Institute of Linguistics of Russian Academy of Science).

The aim of the conference is to integrate the efforts of specialists in cognitive science, cognitive psychology, learning theory, neural networks, cognitive linguistics, knowledge engineering, semiotics, psycholinguistics, etc. The results are expected to contribute to the investigation of cognitive processing of language information.
