Nous invitons des contributions sur tous les aspects de la grammaire des des auxiliaires, y compris les questions suivantes :
(i) Quelles sont les sources des auxiliaires dans la grammaticalisation ?
(ii) Quelles sont les différences syntaxiques et sémantiques entre les verbes auxiliaires et les verbes lexicaux homophones ?
(iii) Quelle est la syntaxe des auxiliaires augmentant la structure argumentale comme les auxiliaires causatifs ?
(iv) Quelles sont les restrictions morphologiques pour les auxiliaires (Benincà & Poletto 1997, Berizzi & Rossi 2011, Laca 2021) ?
(v) Quelles sont les restrictions sémantiques sur les compléments d'auxiliaires ? (Squartini 1998, Laca 2005, Laca 2021)
(vi) Quelle est l'influence du type de complément (infinitif, gérondif, participes) sur la syntaxe et la sémantique des constructions auxiliaires ? (Manzini & Lorusso 2022, Manzini 2024, Gonçalves ; Santos ; Duarte ; Justino 2018, Oliveira ; Cunha ; Gonçalves 2004)
(vii) Quelles autres catégories peuvent présenter un comportement de type auxiliaire (adverbes, constructions sérielles) ? (Vander Klok & Matthewson 2015, Essegbey 2004)
Workshop topics We invite contributions on any aspect of the grammar of auxiliaries, including but not limited to the following questions:
(i) What are the sources of auxiliaries in grammaticalization?
(ii) What are the syntactic and semantic differences between auxiliary and homophonous lexical verbs?
(iii) What is the syntax of argument increasing auxiliaries as in causative constructions?
(iv) What are the morphological restrictions for auxiliaries (Benincà & Poletto 1997, Berizzi & Rossi 2011, Laca 2021)
(v) What are the semantic restrictions on complements of auxiliairies? (Squartini 1998, Laca 2005, Laca 2021)
(vi) What influence has the type of complement (infinitive, gerund, participles) on the syntax and semantics of the auxiliary construction? (Manzini & Lorusso 2022, Manzini 2024, Gonçalves; Santos; Duarte; Justino 2018, Oliveira; Cunha; Gonçalves 2004)
(vii) What other categories may display auxiliary-like behaviour? (Vander Klok & Matthewson 2015, Essegbey 2004)
