Confs: Workshop at DGfS 2027: Small Primitives, Big Syntax

One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena—and the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages—to a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages. In this workshop, to be held at DGfS 2027 in Jena, we zoom in on these primitives and ask two interr

“Natural languages offer a variety of means not only to describe our world by making a claim with specific truth conditions, but also to address the validity of the claim and highlight its truth itself.” (Müller 2024: 577) There is however only limited research on the means that languages other than German and English use for such truth highlighting, or verum marking (most notably, Gutzmann et al. 2020, Kerr & van der Wal 2023, De Cia 2025). From this research, there already emerges a variety of
