PRESENTATION ($1)
The international conference ‘Verbal Adjectives and Participles’ (Arbeitstagung of the Society
for Indo-European Studies / Indogermanische Gesellschaft / Société des Études IndoEuropéennes), to be held in Paris in September, 24th-26th, 2014, intends to investigate the
relationships between verbal adjectives and participles in the Indo-European languages.
The wide range of data that involve these categories were not treated in a comprehensive way in IndoEuropean studies. It is a well-known fact that the border between these two classes may fluctuate
across languages and reveals an intricate morphology-syntax interplay. One should then reopen some
basic questions. What is a verbal adjective? What is a participle? What is the difference between these
verbal categories and nominal categories such as agent nouns? What is a gerundive? What is an
absolutive? The conference will cover issues of descriptive and historical morphology (inflection,
derivation) in the individual Indo-European languages. The syntax and syntactic functions expressed
by the formations mentioned above will be especially emphasized. The aim of this conference is to
highlight convergences and divergences in the treatment of verbal adjectives and participles across
the Indo-European languages. Issues of Proto-Indo-European reconstruction will also be addressed.
Besides, the typological perspective will be considered by several contributions. On the whole, most
Indo-European languages, ancient as well as modern, will be covered by the papers. One may expect
that the conference will reflect the current situation of scholarship on several interrelated issues of
history and comparison of languages.
Each paper will be allowed 30 minutes (ca. 20 minutes + 10 minutes of discussion). The languages
of the conferences are French, German and English.

PRACTICALITIES ($5)
Conference fee
Conference fee for all attendants and participants: 20 euros. This sum will be paid at the registration
desk (located at the site of the conference, given above) at the beginning of the conference.
Getting there
The participants should travel (airplane, train, subway) at their own costs. The conference will take
place at the École Normale Supérieure, 29 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris. A plan of the campus of the École
Normale Supérieure is available here (link $6). For a map, go to Google Maps
(https://www.google.fr/maps) and search for “29 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris, France”. Precise
information about routes and times from point to point on the Paris metro system may be found at the
SNCF website (http://www.transilien.com).
Taxis from the airports to the heart of Paris are really expensive (minimum 50 euros), but public
transportation will take you there quickly.
From Roissy airport (Aéroport Charles de Gaulle-Roissy), take a regional train, RER B (every 5
minutes); all trains go to Paris. Or take the Roissybus (every 15 minutes) from the airport to Paris
Opéra. From Paris Opéra, you have a connection with Métro, Lines 3, 6, 7, 8. Line 7 goes to “Place
Monge” or “Censier Daubenton”, three hundred meters from the École Normale Supérieure. The
station closest to the École Normale Supérieure is “Luxembourg”.
From Orly airport (Aéroport d’Orly), take the Orlyval to the RER station “Antony”, and from there
RER B to Paris. Get off at the “Luwembourg” station.
