Passive and antipassive universals and the Grammaticon (University of Regensburg colloquium talk, October 2026)

This talk summarizes my recent work on passive and antipassive universals (in two papers to appear in edited volumes), and introduces the Grammaticon. The crucial point is that in order to test universals, we need rigorous definitions, and the Grammaticon proposes such definitions.

Abstract

This talk summarizes my recent work on passive and antipassive universals (in two papers to appear in edited volumes), and introduces the Grammaticon. The crucial point is that in order to test universals, we need rigorous definitions, and the Grammaticon proposes such definitions.
