This is the kick-off workshop of the DFG-funded project Partition and Individuation in Germanic (PartInG) which examines phenomena such as (pseudo-) partitivity, measuring, counting, singling-out and their various lexicalization strategies – case marking, prepositions, (indefinite) articles, inflection etc. Close attention is paid to the fine structure of the lower nominal domain, structure-meaning correlations, syncretisms and multifunctionality of the items involved.
The workshop is intended to bring together our cooperation partners, and is co-hosted by Ljudmila Geist's DFG-project on the Fine Structure of the Noun Phrase. We intend to use this opportunity to elaborate on our agenda, discuss research strategies, present preliminary results, and refine our research questions. The program furthermore includes three open/general discussion sessions on lexical properties of n/N, countability, and multifunctionality. You are cordially invited to attend our workshop!
