The regular meeting of the network Partitives in European Languages http://www.parte.humanities.uva.nl/ is in Budapest.

Dates: September 15th-17th, 2022
Click HERE for registration

We are closing the registration at midnight on Wednesday, September 14th.

The title of the meeting is “Methods for approaching variation: partitives and beyond”.

The meeting aims to bring together researchers on partitive cases, including genitives or ablatives used as partitives, partitive determiners, partitive pronouns, and other partitive elements, focusing on their role in linguistic theories, their diachronic development, dialectal variation, language contact and language acquisition.

It brings together the members of the network, the members of the Estonian-Hungarian Academies of Science exchange project and other researchers interested in the topic.
