Conference venue
KOŠICE – A UNIVERSITY CITY AND EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE IN 2013
Košice is a city with an eventful and illustrious past and multicultural and colourful present. It is a seat of culture and education. During the university semesters students make the city their own, and one may find them at every turn: in the theatres, the museums, the galleries, the concert halls, the libraries, and the parks. Almost nine thousand future professionals in medical, legal, scientific, social, philosophical disciplines and arts study at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University, further swelling the already large permanent population of the city of over 240,000.
Košice’s earliest documents date back to 1230 and refer to it as “Villa Cassa”. Its coat of arms is the oldest in Europe, a fact attested to by a letter dating from 1369. The city's historic sights – from various periods – are concentrated in the centre, the Urban Heritage Area. The recently reconstructed Main Street, lined by the houses and palaces of the burghers of the past, offers visitors a pleasant stroll, and is also the venue for many major events. Košice has always been known for its extraordinary mixture of cultures and dialects, a mixture that contributes greatly to the attractions of the city.

GETTING AROUND KOSICE
TO THE CITY CENTRE:
From the airport to the city centre
To reach the city centre from the airport, you can either call a taxi (see the taxi numbers listed below; note that it is cheaper to call a taxi – 7 to 10 euro – than to hail a taxi directly at the airport – 10 to 15 euro), or take bus 23 (0.70 euro, you will also need a 0.60 euro ticket for each large item of luggage you are carrying, but hand-luggage size bags are free of charge) which leaves from the bus stop situated directly in front of the Arrivals hall. Get off the bus at the Liberation Square stop – “NÁMESTIE OSLOBODITEĽOV”. The Aupark shopping mall will be in front of you. To get to Main Street – “HLAVNÁ ULICA” – cross the road in front of you and continue straight ahead, passing the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel, which is the first building on “HLAVNÁ ULICA”. The Cathedral is about a 3-minute walk from the hotel. The timetables of bus 23 are reproduced below, and they can also be checked at imhd.zoznam.sk/ke and at www.dpmk.sk. The journey time is 15 minutes and tickets can be purchased from ticket machines (exact change required) at the airport bus stop for 0.70 euro or from the bus driver for 1.00 euro.
From the railway or bus station to the city centre
While there is a taxi rank in front of the railway and bus stations, walking to the centre is really quite quick and easy. The historical centre, with the majority of hotels, restaurants, stores and the enchanting Main Street – “HLAVNÁ ULICA” – is only a 7– to 9-minute walk from the railway and bus stations. If arriving by train, go out of the right-most doors of the station and walk straight along the pavement in front of you to the park. If arriving by bus, walk along the front of the railway station (which will be on your right as you exit the bus terminal) to the second set of doors and turn left to walk along the pavement towards the park. There is a tourist information centre just inside the second set of doors of the railway station.As you walk, you will pass a tram stop (on your left). Continuing straight on, you will cross a street (cars don’t always stop for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, so please be careful!) to walk down an alley of trees and fountains through the park. You should already be able to see the cathedral tower in the distance. Once you have crossed a pedestrian bridge, you will enter Mlynská Street – “MLYNSKÁ ULICA”. As you continue straight on, you will exit Mlynská Street at the Cathedral, which is actually in the middle of Main Street – “HLAVNÁ ULICA“.
Once you have reached “HLAVNÁ ULICA“, if you turn right, you should reach TESCO and the Peace Marathon Square – “NÁMESTIE MARATÓNU MIERU” – in less than 5 minutes; if you turn left, you should reach the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel at Liberation Square – “NÁMESTIE OSLOBODITEĽOV” – in the same amount of time.
The Peace Marathon Square – “NÁMESTIE MARATÓNU MIERU” – is easily recognisable by a clearly visible statue of a marathon runner on the left hand side as well as by two large buildings of the East Slovak Museum (yellow and cream respectively) located on the left and right sides of the square. Liberation Square – “NÁMESTIE OSLOBODITEĽOV” – can be recognised by a large memorial to the soldiers of World War II and the new shopping centre AUPARK.

SPECIALTIES FROM SLOVAK CUISINE
“Bryndzové halušky” (Sheep cheese dumplings) is the national Slovak dish. Sheep cheese gives a unique flavour to the meal by itself, but it is even tastier with small pieces of bacon greaves and sour cream. It is usually served with a glass of sour milk called “Žinčica”.
“Kapustnica” (Cabbage soup) is a Slovak thick sauerkraut soup traditionally prepared at the end of the year for Christmas. Kapustnica can be prepared in a lot of ways (ingredients, length of cooking, etc.) and it differs from region to region. In some regions, Kapustnica may contain smoked meat, sausages and mushrooms, in some regions it is a much simpler soup.
Fried Cheese with French Fries is a very popular Slovak/Czech dish mostly served with French fries and Tartar sauce (Tatárska omáčka) and salad.
“Lángoš” (Deep fried bread) is originally a Hungarian food but it is also a favourite take-away in Slovakia. Sometimes you’ll find it in restaurants as a starter. It is usually served with garlic, cheese, sour cream or ketchup on top (you can choose whatever ingredients you like).
“Prívarok” (Prívarok) is a typical Slovak dish, similar to soups in its consistency but much denser. It comes in many variations depending on the ingredients – pumpkins, lentils, beans, potatoes, dill, etc. It is usually consumed with a slice of bread and sausages or fried eggs might be added on top.
P.J.ŠAFÁRIK UNIVERSITY
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ) is the second oldest university in Slovakia. The history of higher education in Košice goes back to the year 1657, when the bishop Benedict Kishdy founded the Academia Cassoviensis, which was run by the Jesuits of Jesus’ Community. The University of Košice Golden Bull issued in 1660 by the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I granted the Universitas Cassoviensis the same privileges as all the other universities of the Habsburg empire. The structure of Universitas Cassoviensis was similar to that of other universities, with faculties of Philosphy, Law and Theology, the last of these being the strongest. Study at the Philosophical Faculty was dedicated primarily to philosophy, history and languages, but the lectures – which were in Latin – also included presentations of the natural sciences: physics, mathematics, geography and botany. The Universitas Cassoviensis had its own library and a church, and it significantly influenced the advancement of science, educational attainment and spiritual culture in the 17th and 18th centuries.
In 1959 the traditions of the Universitas Cassoviensis were revived through the foundation of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. It originally consisted of the Faculty of Medicine (in Košice) and the Faculty of Philosophy (in Prešov). Gradually the university was enlarged by the addition of new faculties:the Faculty of Science in Košice in 1963, the Faculty of Education in Prešov in 1964, Faculty of Law in Košice in 1973, the Faculty of Public Administration in Košice in 1998, and finally the Faculty of Arts in Košice in 2007.
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice is the second classical university of Slovakia. It ranks among the important and widely-recognized educational and research institutions not only in Slovakia, but also in Europe. Its key mission is to provide education and service to its students and the community by spreading knowledge based on the most recent scientific findings in an international context, as well as to conduct high-quality research. The UPJŠ also supports activities contributing to the education and culture of the public and it helps students develop greater wisdom, creativity, tolerance, critical and independent thinking, self-confidence, and both regional and national awareness.
At present the UPJŠ provides education at its five faculties to almost 9,000 students in more than 105 BA, 65 MA and 35 PhD programmes, with more than 700 lecturers and research staff who use the results of their own high-quality scientific research, the most recent experimental technology, the latest ITC and innovative methods of education.
The University has mainly focused on creating a permanent system of monitoring and improving the quality of education in all the accredited study programmes. Instead of extensive generating new study programmes and increasing the number of students, the emphasis has been placed on optimising the content and methods of implementation of the existing study programmes. The university policy is to promote maximum mutual openness and connectedness of courses, so that the students may benefit from the widest range of opportunities across the university, not just within individual faculties. Improving the quality of the education provided and of the university organization has required a focus on improvement of the physical infrastructure, particularly continuous modernisation and variation of teaching technology, specifically exploiting the Internet and new information technologies.
Students can use the services of the University Library, the Centre for Information and Communication Technologies, and the Botanical Garden. The UPJŠ has more than 2,500 accommodation places, and excellent catering services located near the city centre. The Institute of Physical Education and Sports offers education in the field of sports and recreation, training courses for students, physical education camps, and hobby sports activities for staff, students and public throughout the year, also organizing such events as University Days of Sport, the Wellness Day, or the Intervention Motion Programme.
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice has established itself in the European education and research arena. It is a member of the European University Association and a signatory of Magna Charta Universitatum. It is a seat of the European Documentation Centre, the Institute of European Law and the Austrian Library. Both education and scientific research at the UPJŠ are carried on in a broad international context and follow European trends. The research teams, led by internationally recognized personalities, use funding from both national and international sources; every year up to 200 research projects are funded (around 20 by foreign grants). The number of publications per staff member in high-quality international journals, the high proportion of papers registered in the Current Contents Connect database and the number of citations in registered databases rank the UPJŠ amongst the best research universities in Slovakia.
The development of the international dimension of the UPJŠ is closely related to the LLP/Erasmus mobility programme for staff and students and to mobility within the National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic. The numbers of UPJŠ students who complete part of their studies abroad as well as the number of incoming students and staff are all growing. The UPJŠ has more than 230 Erasmus bilateral agreements with universities in 20 countries. For international Erasmus students, the International Office of UPJŠ regularly organizes EILC – Erasmus Intensive Language Courses – that enable incoming students to study the Slovak language, to understand the Slovak culture, and to become familiar with the academic milieu in Slovakia.
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice is also open to Free Movers.

PLENARY SPEAKERS

Wordless Morphology
Over the past decade evidence has accumulated that the word is neither a consistent nor a universal unit of phonological or grammatical structure. I will review this evidence and argue that a more promising approach starts from a multitude of morpheme domains that are variously established by specific patterns of dependency and cohesion. Specific such domains, in particular those established by dependencies of host selection and templatic fixation and those based on cohesion in prosodic phonology, play critical roles in acquisition, processing, and change. I will illustrate these roles with recent case studies on a typologically diverse set of data. Taken together, this work shifts the focus of enquiry in morphology from modeling ‘word’phenomena to capturing diverse but cognitively relevant domains of host selection, templatic patterns, and prosody.
Dirk Geeraerts, KU Leuven
Usage-based Footnotes to Onomasiological Morphology
Both morphology and lexicology at large are currently characterized by an increased interest in an onomasiological perspective, but ‚usage-based‘ theory formation seems to be somewhat more entrenched in the latter field than in the former. In this talk, I will explore a number of ways in which a usage-based conception of onomasiology as practiced in lexical studies may be relevant for morphology. Drawing on previous work conducted within our Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics research group, three dimensions of a usage-based perspective on morphological onomasiology will be illustrated: the notion of onomasiological salience as variable construal (in the sense of Cognitive Linguistics), the non-compositional emergence of meaning in local contexts, and the use of quantitative distributional corpus analysis to model meaning.
Nicola Grandi, University of Bologna
Typological Tendencies in Evaluative Morphology
The aim of this talk is to sketch a preliminary picture of some areal and typological tendencies in evaluative morphology. The sample is composed of almost 90 languages, most of which are described in the second part of the Edinburgh Handbook of Evaluative Morphology (Grandi and Körvélyessy 2015).
Current literature on evaluative morphology is quite rich: on one side, it covers many theoretical relevant issues, such as the place of evaluative morphology within morphology, the possible phonetic iconicity in evaluative morphology, the presence of universals in evaluative morphology, etc.; on the other side, it includes many monographic descriptions of evaluative morphology in single languages or families. What is still missing is a clear picture of how evaluative morphology is distributed world-wide and of how evaluative morphology correlates with other relevant typological parameters.
This talk does not have the ambition to answer all the possible questions in this field, but just to give some hints for future research.
More specifically, I will try to answer the following questions:
The data will be presented according to the following parameters:
- Which language families show the highest occurrence of evaluative morphology?
- Which areas of the world show the highest occurrence of evaluative morphology?
- Are there significant correlations between families and/or areas and the most frequent formal strategies used to express evaluation (suffixation, prefixation, reduplication, etc.)?
- Are there significant correlations between evaluative morphology and relevant typological parameters such as the morphological type, word order, etc.?

On the Grammaticalization of Some Processes of Word Formation in Unwritten Languages
The paper is concerned with linguistic data suggesting that one and the same lexical source of grammaticalization can give rise to different morphological processes, leading not only to compounding and lexicalization but also to derivation, and even to inflection. Based on data from African languages for which little or no earlier written documents are available, the paper argues that even in the absence of historical records it is possible to reconstruct some features of earlier processes of word formation.

Interconnectedness and Variation of Meaning in Derivational Patterns
Lexicalism has been challenged in the past few decades by several versions of a theory of morphology that assumes productive derivational morphology to be an extension of syntax. Appealing to the configurations and processes found in syntax to understand derivational morphology has quite a long tradition, but the idea of „morphology-as-syntax“ has found a recent upsurge in the work of proponents of distributed morphology, cf., e.g., Halle & Marantz (1993), Marantz (1997), Harley & Noyer (1999, 2000), Alexiadou & Schäfer (2010) and Borer (2013). There are many parallels between the complex structures of derivational morphology and those of syntax and this presentation will briefly examine the virtues of such syntactic views of morphology with an eye to an explanation of the formal properties of derivational morphology such as argument inheritance and the licensing of complements.
Understanding the productivity of derivational formations, however, requires the assignment of representations to morphological structures that are capable of supporting the range of interpretations characteristic of productive paradigms, cf. Lieber (2016). Such considerations justify the reexamination of the premises of lexicalism. Under consideration will be a lexicalist theory that does not distribute the function of the lexicon among separate components of grammar, outsourcing, in particular, the meaning of basic units to an extragrammatical encyclopedia, but rather anchors the meaning of linguistic expressions in a lexicon that is integrated into the grammar and systematically interfaces with syntax, phonology and conceptual structure. Such considerations will also lead us away from the notion of „affixal polysemy“ and shift our focus to the nature of lexical representations and mechanisms of semantic transfer and conceptual variation as proposed by Asher (2011), Pustejovsky (2011) and Bierwisch (2015) that apply to complex as well as simplex lexemes. The aim is to more clearly grasp the essence of the interconnectedness and variation in the meaning of morphological patterns.

Direction of derivation: How predictable?
When morphological derivation is used to express semantically related concepts, the question is which concept is expressed through a basic lexeme and which is derived.
In the worst of all possible worlds, for language learners and typologists at any rate, there wouldn’t be any generalisations about this matter: for each individual concept pair in each particular language, the direction of derivation for the very same semantic relationship could equally be expected to go one way or the other. To see that such inconvenient disarray is indeed something to be reckoned with, compare a couple of abstract propensity noun and property concept adjectives in English, and of very similar meaning at that: in one pairing the noun is derived from the adjective, brave → braveness, and in the other the adjective from the noun, courage → courage-ous; a noun for persons of such propensity requires compounding, brave-heart (basic hero doesn’t quite fit semantically), while in another triple of corresponding semantic relationships, it is the person noun which is basic and abstract noun and property adjective are both derived from it, coward → coward-ice, coward-ly. Given such variety in one language, how could the picture be less diverse across languages? Thus, for starters, German has the adjective as basic for this last triple: feig → Feig-heit, Feig-ling. Well, being equally unpredictably diverse might be considered something that can be shared too between languages.
But don’t despair yet if you're a learner or typologist, because there are also instances where directions of derivation appear to be uniform across all semantically related pairs, triples, etc. within and across languages. Two cases in point: When negation (and similar concepts such as reversative or separative) is derivational, negative adjectives, verbs, nouns will always be derived and positives will always be basic. When cardinal and ordinal, multiplicative, frequentative, distributive, absolute-counting numerals are derivationally related, the latter are always derived and cardinals basic.
Generalisations, though of a typological rather than universal nature, have even been suggested to hold at a level higher than words, that of whole word classes. Some languages have been suggested to be verb-deriving, with nouns as their basic lexemes, while others are allegedly noun-deriving, with verbs as basic. Thus, when you consult an Indo-European etymological dictionary, you will find just about all roots, from which everything is supposed to have grown, to be of a verbal (or of an expressive or interjectional) nature. Still, looking at real languages, one will probably always find derivations between word classes going one way as well as the other for different or also the same semantic relationships. For example, in English, adjectives are derived from nouns to express notions such as comparison, manner, possession, consistency, or provenance (A child-ish ← N child, A friend-ly ← N friend, A talent-ed ← N talent, A wooll-en ← N wool, A Japan-ese ← N Japan), while nouns are derived from adjectives to express notions such as abstract quality or person designations in terms of properties (N wid-th ← A wide, N tru-th ← A true, N young-ster ← A young).
Of the two kinds of explanations that have been offered to explain relevant generalisations, the first would lead us to expect a high degree of predictability within and across languages: Were morphological complexity to mirror conceptual complexity, as has often been claimed, there would be no room for variation at all. For example: causation-of-change-of-state verbs should always be derived from change-ofstate verbs, which in turn should always be derived from (prior/posterior-)state predicates. Frequency explanations relativise: if it is the principle of minimal effort that leads to morphological simplicity, then semantic simplicity/complexity does not perforce guarantee being reflected through morphological basicness and derivedness.
Despite much recent work especially on causativisation/transitivisation and decausativisation/detransitivisation, it seems to me that this whole issue has been underresearched. In particular the question of where and where not to expect variation seems to me wide open.
This is where this paper hopes to make a typological contribution. Also, taking a diachronic and areal perspective, we will be asking whether directions of derivation are historically stable or unstable and prone or resistant to borrowing. This being a case study, we will be focusing on derivationally related property-concept adjectives, abstract nouns, and concrete (person) nouns, and to get started we will be looking most closely at English and German, two members of the West Germanic subfamily, but the former more strongly influenced by (Norman) French over its history.
What we find is that languages differ, and that not all adjectives and nouns behave the same in their respective languages. Yet there are generalisations about preferred directions (and also non-directedness) of derivation, and these make reference to semantic subclasses, such as human propensities and subjective evaluation (where directions tend to vary) and physical condition, size and dimension, age, sensory perception (where direction tends to be uniform, with adjectives basic and nouns derived). Within the subdomains that show crosslinguistic variation, especially that of human propensities, English and German are found to differ considerably. Arguably this is due to English following the Romance preference, having substantially borrowed both basic vocabulary and means of derivation. Overall our results fit in with typological findings which associate classes of meanings with word classes, with “adjectival” meanings, if given distinctive formal recognition, eking out their precarious territory between “verby” and “nouny” meanings.

Workshop 1
Revisiting paradigms in word-formation
Alexandra Bagasheva, Sofia University, Bulgaria & Jesus Fernandez-Domínguez, Granada University, Spain
abagasheva@gmail.com / jesusferdom@gmail.com
In the past couple of years paradigmaticity in word-formation has attracted admirable attention. Two workshops at the 49 th SLE meeting – Paradigms in Word-Formation: New perspectives on data description and modeling and Similarities and differences between inflectional and derivational paradigms: individual languages and beyond – and ParadigMo 2017 – First Workshop on Paradigmatic Word Formation Modeling – in Toulouse, France testify to the growing interest towards the nature and role of paradigms in the field of word-formation. At the center of discussions it is essentially paradigms in (affixal) derivation, but compounding is not entirely excluded.
The literature devoted to the topic is constantly growing, e.g., Bauer 1997; Bochner 1993; Booij 1997; Pounder 2000; Roché & Plénat 2014; Štekauer 2014; van Marle 1985; Stump 1991, 2006; to name but a few. However, the issues and questions surrounding the similarities and differences between derivational and inflectional paradigms are far from conclusively answered and the debates are open to debate as regards the psychological reality and predictability strength of paradigms in the area of word-formation. Having in mind the unsettled controversies as to the boundaries between inflection and derivation, it is only natural that studying and modeling paradigms in word-formation will generate sustained and deeper interest.
This workshop’s major objective is to provide venue for discussion of the concept of paradigm in word-formation, novel approaches to understanding and modeling the phenomenon, recent findings (including in separate languages) concerning the role of paradigms in lexical networks and how the former (re)shape the patterns of the various relations that words have with the others in the lexicon.
Relevant questions include, but are not restricted to the following:
- How are analogy and paradigms related?
- What is the nature of the interaction between derivational families and paradigms or between word nests and paradigms?
- Are paradigms operative in compounding?
- Are there any differences between paradigms in compounding and derivation?
- Does the concept of paradigm necessitate reevaluation of the demarcation between inflection and derivation or the nature of the interaction between affixation and compounding?
- How can we account for the inherent overlaps and partiality in networks projected by paradigmatic structures? etc.
The workshop will be organised into a paper-delivery session and an open discussion session.
Abstracts for papers should be anonymous, 500 words in length (excluding references, but including tables) in both word (Times New Roman, 12 pts.)
and pdf format and should be sent to abagasheva@gmail.com and jesusferdom@gmail.com by 15 February 2018.

Workshop 2
Elicitation and texts studies in field research (derivational morphology and beyond)
Nina Sumbatova and Valentin Vydrin

Like any science, linguistics obtains its primary data via observation and experiment. In field linguistics, these two methods are represented by recording spontaneous oral texts and elicitation. There are numerous publications discussing advantages and shortcomings of both approaches to the field data retrieval (among others, Bowern 2008; Chelliah 2001; Chelliah & De Reuse 2011; Crowley 2007; Majid 2012; Mosel 2009, 2012; Vaux & Cooper 2003), however, it is unlikely that the final word in this discussion has been said.
In the history of linguistics, certain theoretical schools showed inclination to one of these basic methods. Thus, American descriptivists elaborated thorough and detailed procedures of extracting linguistic knowledge exclusively from recorded texts. Similar requirements are sometimes formulated by modern field linguists (e.g. Aikhenvald 2007). On the other hand, some quite successful field methods rely mainly on experimental approach (in particular, Kibrik 1977; Bouquiaux & Thomas 1976). Many mainstream linguists combined both approaches in their work. The same characterises the work of many people who have done field work in the last decades and/or have written on the principles and methods of field linguistics.
This workshop is not meant to compare the advantages and drawbacks of each method. Rather, we are planning to discuss how we could combine and integrate elicitation and work with text collections in order to obtain most impressive results.
The workshop is taking place within a conference on derivation. That is why we are primarily interested in discussing field studies of derivational morphology, which also face the same methodological problems (however, other topics of field research will also be considered). For example, when studying a derivational pattern, a field linguist, who relies on acceptability judgements of the speakers, may obtain a list of derived lexemes. This list will have at least two weak points: on the one hand, it does not distinguish potential and actual words, which are indiscriminately produced by the speaker; on the other hand, it sometimes lacks important actual words just because the speakers fail to imagine an appropriate context. If the language under study has a large electronic corpus, a range of methods is available for measuring productivity of derivation models (for a survey, cf. Haspelmath & Sims 2010: 129–131). However, it is not clear to what extent these measures are applicable to less studied languages, where the prospects to get a representative corpus are slim.
We suggest discussing the following issues:
- The potential of each method
What types of information can and cannot be obtained through elicitation on the one hand and (spontaneous oral) texts on the other? It is obvious that the corpus-oriented approach cannot provide negative evidence, but is this its only limitation? What are the potential limits of elicitation?
- Interpretation of frequency
Whereas elicitation is meant to differentiate between acceptable and inacceptable sentences, text collections provide the frequencies of linguistic phenomena. Normally, the absence or rarity of a phenomenon does not imply its ungrammaticality or unacceptability, but still requires an explanation. Surprisingly, there is no agreement between the linguists on how the frequency of a linguistic phenomenon in a corpus should be explained, especially if this corpus is not big enough.
• How should we interpret the absence of a phenomenon in a text collection?
• How can we distinguish between a rare phenomenon and a mistake?
• What do the (relative) frequencies of certain phenomena in a text corpus mean for understanding language mechanisms?
- Data interpretation
Different types of corpus-based observations can be interpreted and explained by some other phenomena observed in the corpus or by certain phenomena of essentially different nature.
• In which cases can the observed data be explained through other observations – first of all, other corpus data?
• In what situations does the interpretation of corpus data require that the researcher should switch to an experiment?
• And, vice versa, what types of elicited data should be verified and/or explained with the help of corpus data?
- Mutual verification
• How can elicitation be used to check the results of a corpus-based study, and how does corpus-based study serve to verify the results of elicitation?
• How helpful is each of these methods in formulating questions to the other one?
Of course, the potential participants are welcome to suggest their own topics within the scope of this workshop.
Abstracts for papers should be anonymous, 500 words in length (excluding references, but including tables) in both word (Times New Roman, 12 pts.) and pdf format and should be sent to nina.sumbatova@gmail.com and vydrine@yandex.ru by 15 February 2018.

Cognitive Alignment Frames – an onomasiological stance in syntactic areal typology
The paper is aimed to show the relevance of an onomasiological stance in a syntactic area-typology research. It is concerned with activation of a sample of cognitive chains across European languages involving the Indo-European family (Germanic: English, German, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic; Romance: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, French; and Slavonic: Slovak, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Bulgarian), the Finno-Ugric family ( Hungarian and Finnish), Basque and Georgian.The cognitive chains in focus of this study involve NON-AGENT Arguments, subcategorized into Unintentional Performer, Cognizer, Perceiver, and Emoter. The research is conducted via syntactic datasheets filled out by bilingual academics, with English being a reference language. An onomasiological approach to syntactic typology is tested by assigning cross-linguistically shared cognitive argument chains the role of tertia comparationis for the syntactic typological analysis of particular coding flags and their combinations employed by language users. Coding markers involved include both explicit/surface and implicit flags. The latter may be tested via cognitive feasibility check, whereas the coding properties include inflection (of nouns, pronouns, articles, adjectives, verbs, including grammaticalized infixation in Basque and Georgian), Subject / Verb agreement, pluripersonal concord, prepositions, aspect and tense verb contrasts, word order, prosody, etc., of which various combinations have been identified. The notion of Cognitive Alignment Frames (CA-frames) is introduced to indicate an interface between the argument chains and the coding alignment. In our sample surface arrangements of coding markers rendered five Cognitive Alignment Frames, namely NANOM/ABS – SP/FOCOBL, NAERG – SP/FOCABS, NAOBL– SP/FOCNOM/ABS, NAPOSS in SPNOM/NAPOSS in SPOBL, and NAGEN in SPNOM,(NA…Non-Agent, SP…Specifier, FOC…Focus). The paper will survey how the respective cognitive alignment frames coincide with the genetic and morphosyntactic typological classes of the languages in our sample: the language-specific preference and the language-sub-family preference for the respective CA-frames. The results are also benchmarked against the eurouniversal hypothesis that due to language contact Experiencer cognitive chains are predominantly flagged as NOM/Subject in the SAE languages.

A corpus-based analysis of possibility markers in medical academic English
Modality performs an essential role in presenting one’s ideas, opinions, and findings in academic discourse, which makes it an indispensable tool in academic writing. Earlier research demonstrated that modal markers are essential in academic argumentation and presentation of scientific findings and claims. Therefore, this poster focuses on the use of modal markers in the subcorpus of medical academic English in The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Two sets of analyses are conducted. The first set explores the combinations of the modal verbs of possibility, MAY and CAN, with modal markers from the Medical Academic Word List (MAWL) by Wang et al. (2008) in the subcorpus of medical academic English. In the second set of analyses, the modal markers from MAWL are investigated in contexts without a core modal verb of possibility. The results will show similarities and differences in the use of the observed modal markers when occurring with and without modal verbs of possibility.

Word-formation and the sociolinguistic factor of age
The research in the formation of new designations has always been the main focus of linguists concerned with the area of word-formation (WF), however, the sociolinguistic factors have often been neglected in the analysis of WF. It has already been indicated that age, among other sociolinguistic factors, has an effect on the choice of WF devices (Körtvélyessy, 2010; Körtvélyessy and Štekauer, 2014). Nevertheless, the factor of age has been predominantly explored from the psycholinguistic viewpoint with regard to acquisition mechanisms following the traditional division of WF processes (compounding, suffixation, conversion, etc.) (Clark and Berman, 1984; Haman et al., 2009). This paper attempts to introduce the research conducted so far in the field of sociolinguistics with respect to the one of the main factors influencing the formation of new designations – the age of language users. Moreover, it aims to describe the procedure of the intended research in the formation of new designations in English among the Slovak pupils and students of various age groups applying onomasiological method to the evaluation of collected data, which means that the individual coinages will be classified in accordance with onomasiological types as opposed to the abovementioned traditional division.

Elative compounds as means of evaluation and intensification
The paper focuses on the phenomenon of elative compounds and provides a theoretically oriented part discussing the reasons for incorporation of elative compounds within evaluative morphology and their position in the linguistic system in general. Evaluative morphology is a domain of morphology which studies evaluation resulting from various morphological processes. These might involve affixation, prefixal-suffixal derivation, circumfixation, reduplication, and others. Elative compounds represent linguistic structures whose features share some similarities with the features of units from evaluative morphology, such as diminutives, augmentatives or pejoratives. All these structures can be identified as evaluative since they express certain degree of subjectivity stated by the language user. They relate to a so-called standard value, from which they deviate to a greater or lesser extent. Elative compounds can be also classified as intensifiers, i.e. indicators of high degree. The paper deals with these and other issues relating to this type of compounds and also attempts to explain the term elative, whose definition is crucial for understanding the given phenomenon.
