    ***THIRD (and last) CALL FOR PAPERS***

    The German Association for Catalan Studies (Deutscher Katalanistenverband e.V.) calls for paper proposals for a linguistic panel on

    VERBAL PERIPHRASES IN ROMANCE LANGUAGES IN THE LIGHT OF CURRENT GRAMMATICAL THEORIES

    to be held within the 27th German Conference on Romance Languages at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich (Germany), October 7th - 10th, 2001.

    This panel is intended to focus on all synchronic and diachronic aspects of periphrastic expression of time, aspect and modality in Romance and welcomes contributions with different theoretical backgrounds. Approaches to the description and explanation of verbal periphrases' development and functions may be formal as well as functional, typological or cognitive. The panel takes Catalan and the other Ibero-Romance languages as a starting point, but all Romance languages (including Romance-based creoles) may be considered.
