Our research group was well represented during the annual meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea in Athens with the following presentations:
Hannah Booth and Kim Groothuis gave a workshop on expletives at the syntax-discourse interface.
Tom Bossuyt and Eline Daveloose: “Concessive conditionals in Cappadocian Greek: Issues of divergence and contact”.
Eleonora Cattafi: “The Accessibility Hierarchy in Greek documentary papyri: from syntax to sociolinguistics”.
Mihaela Ilioaia: “Alternating predicates in Romanian: preliminary insights from a pilot experimental study”.
Leonid Kulikov: “Vedic śīyate ‘falls’: an atmospheric verb among verbs of spontaneous events”.
Ezra la Roi: “Conditional language contact: the Septuagint Greek translation and the (in)stability of conditional structures in the history of Greek”.
Anne Carlier, Jasper Vangaever and Lisa Pigère: “The progressive gerund construction in three Romance languages: historical and comparative perspectives”.
We are, of course, very proud of our members to have presented at such an important event!
