On a general level, this workshop aims at investigating the geographical distribution, morphosyntactic properties, and motivations for the presence of partitive elements in Romance and Germanic varieties in contact. More in detail, two aims can be identified. The first aim is to identify where these elements are present in Romance and Germanic varieties of Switzerland, as well as adjacent ones in France, Germany, and Italy, and to fill up the lacunae about their geographical distribution, lacunae to be further explored in collaborative research projects based on available databases, especially inside the Edisyn Network (e.g., ALAVAL for Francoprovençal, DADDIPRO for Occitan, ASiT for Northern Italian dialects, SADS for Swiss German dialects). Many of the researchers leading these projects will take part in the workshop. The second aim is to establish sound hypotheses about the geographical distribution of partitive elements with regard to their development: did these elements develop (at least initially) independently for language-internal reasons? Did contact play a role (and which one) in the rise and spread of such elements? One crucial idea will be that explicit hypotheses about i) the internal motivation (correlations) of a given morphosyntactic element will permit to formulate predictions about its actual presence or absence in a given variety and ii) that its existence -despite it being unexpected- will give a sound reason to look for language contact as an explanation for it to appear nevertheless. After this first SNF-funded International Exploratory Workshop at Zurich, a 'partitvity network" has been founded, uniting experts on the topic from the universities of Zurich, Neuchâtel, Geneva, Toulouse, Nice, Turin, Venice, Francfort, Konstanz, Göttingen, Barcelona and Utrecht, which will gather regularly and establish common research questions and common research projects, with empirical as well as theoretical foci.

Choosing the optimal visualization for analyzing or representing your data is a difficult and important, but often neglected task. In this one day workshop we will focus on the state of the art in visualization and potentially new techniques applicable applicable to the linguistic domain. The aim is to give a broad overview on visualization approaches, to critically discuss these approaches, and also to do hands on work with real data.
Invited speakers: André Skupin (San Diego), Alfred Lameli (Marburg), Michael Cysouw (Marburg)
Organized by Curdin Derungs, Elvira Glaser, Johannes Kabatek and Philipp Stöckle
