Proceedings

An edited volume is planned, based on a selection papers from the Workshop on Resultatives: New Approaches and Renewed Perspectives, held at the National University of Singapore in March 2023, as a special issue of the Journal of East Asian Linguistics.

Brief synopsis:
The proposed volume will bring together different strands of recent research to build a picture of how our understanding of resultatives has changed over the years: what factors have been reinforced, what adjusted, and what reinterpreted or possibly discarded.  The Direct Object Restriction (DOR), as it has been since the earliest studies of resultatives, remains an important theme in the discussion.  Other themes of the volume include the debate between constructionist and lexicalist approaches towards (non-canonical) argument realization, as well as crosslinguistic and cross-dialectal variation in the form-meaning correspondence of resultative expressions.  The majority of the papers will be concerned with Chinese languages, although work pertaining to English and other languages will also be included.

Guest editor: Tham, Shiao Wei

Length of papers: 20-22 pages (approx. 35 double spaced pages), exclusive of references.

Proposed timeline:

Date Projection
31 January 2024 Initial submission
30 April 2024 First round of reviewing completed
31 July 2024 Revised submissions completed
