The aim of the conference is to discuss issues on the formal and functional characterization of adverbs in German, crossing language-specific, descriptive and theoretical research and drawing on inputs from all theoretical backgrounds, from cross-linguistic research. Among the problems to be addressed are:
The status of adverbs in linguistic theories of parts-of-speech in German
The respective relevance of functional and formal criteria and their combination, under special consideration of adjective-adverbs and weise-adverbs.
Taxonomies and hierarchies within adverbs and adverbials; how sustainable are notions like "circumstancial indications", “manner adverbs” or “sentence adverbs”?
The syntax of adverbs
The talks will last 30 minutes + 10 minutes of discussion, and will be held either in German or in English.
