Chronology of all past events

2019

  • August: Research visit of Gerald Penn in Frankfurt.
  • July 1: Sascha Bargmann submits his thesis on Chopping up idioms.
    Sascha develops an argument for a consequent lexical treatment of idioms, whenever such a treatment is possible. To do this, he looks at data that have not been taken into account systematically in the previous literature. The thesis contains a chapter using LRS.
  • May 23-24: Manfred Sailer. Kinegrams as complex predicates between the idiomatic and the literal. Invited talk at the workshop Modification of Complex Predicates, Düsseldorf.
