The JENom workshop series aims to bring together researchers who are interested in the morphology, syntax, and semantics of nominalizations. Previous editions have been held in Nancy, Lille, Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Verona, Fribourg, Lublin, and Nantes. This year, JENom 11 will take place in Graz (Austria) on July 3-4, 2025, and is organized by the Institute of Linguistics at the University of Graz.
JENom was initially dedicated to the study of argument structure and aspectual properties of deverbal nominalizations from a generative perspective. Recent editions significantly broadened both the empirical and the theoretical focus of the workshop so as to include a larger variety of related topics and constructs approached from different theoretical angles and with various research methods. JENom 11 will continue along these lines. We invite submissions on any aspect of the study of nominalizations, which may be cast in any theoretical framework. As a special topic this year, we particularly welcome submissions that consider the issue of mixed categories as illustrated by participles, gerunds, infinitives or other empirical phenomena that could be regarded as involving mixed categories.
Each talk will be allotted 30 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should be anonymous and should not exceed 2 pages in length (A4 or letter-size), in 12pt font, with 1-inch/2,5-cm margins, including examples and references. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2025, 23:59 CET.
Deadline extension: March 16, 2025, 23:59 CET.
