ELAD-SILDA, Studies in Linguistics and Discourse Analysis, Vol. 11, 2025(1)
Full call: https://publications-prairial.fr/elad-silda/index.php?id=1285
The 11th issue of ELAD-SILDA, to be published in March 2025, will deal with questions of polyfunctionality, polysemy and/or polycategoriality in the adverbial domain. Among the relevant questions, one could mention: Is the distinction between adverbs and adjectives, adverbs and prepositions, etc. tenable from a cross-linguistic point of view? Is the functional opposition between verbal head and adverbial modifier really more solid than the traditional classification of parts-of-speech when it comes to the expression motion events? Can we really draw a sharp line between high and low adverbs? How should we distinguish between functional polysemy, heterosemy and semantic under-determination in the adverbial domain?
