2005 Events
-
July 17-20, 2005: NRG3 Workshop: University
of Santiago de Compostela
Prototypes
and Grammaticalization – Grammaticalization as Prototype?
“Prototype” is a central notion
in typology and cognitive linguistics, two disciplines closely
related to grammaticalization theory in many respects. Yet there
has been only sporadic reflection so far on the potential role
of prototypes in grammaticalization research. Papers are invited
on any topic that will elucidate the relationship between grammaticalization
and the notion of prototype. Contributions may be theoretical
or empirical (or both). Download the call for papers here: http://crlc.anu.edu.au/workshops/Prototypes

2002 Events
October 1-4, 2002:
The Second Conference on the Archaeology and Linguistics of Australia
(ARCLING II, 2002)was
at the National Museum of Australia and Australian Institute of Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Studies Canberra.
The last decade has advanced our knowledge of Australian indigenous
languages and the archaeological record, and has also seen an upsurge
in hypotheses and controversies in prehistory, including linguistic
prehistory. The time is ripe to assess the discoveries and theories,
and to provide a forum for cross-fertilisation
between Australian and world prehistory; and between the different
disciplines which contribute to our overall understanding of prehistory.
ARCLING II was planned for 2002 to bring together archaeologists,
linguists and others to record progress made and map out the challenges
we now face.
