The issue of light elements (primarily verbs and nouns, but also prepositions, adjectives, quantifiers a.s.o.) has been the focus of extensive research over the past years within the standard generative framework. The complexity of light elements is apparent at various levels of linguistic analysis: typological, morpho-syntactic, semantic, psycholinguistic, pragmatic, a.o. In an attempt at shedding some new light on the current analyses of light elements across languages, the workshop tackles

In a world marked by rupture, polarization, and resistance, Beyond Fracture invites us to explore how moments of divergence—social, linguistic, aesthetic, political—can give rise not only to conflict but also to reinvention. At the same time, it calls us to consider the forces of convergence that bind and reconfigure, often in surprising or uneasy ways. Between fracture and fusion lies the space of possibility: for solidarity, for creativity, and for futures that move beyond protest and toward t
